The Impact: <p>Without informed process selection and control, repeated dyeing, inefficient washing, and incorrect disposal can significantly increase water use, chemical discharge, and material waste. Poor handling of wastewater can also lead to environmental harm. Supporting efficient processes and responsible disposal reduces resource use and environmental impact.</p>
Details
Workshops support efficient process selection and control during dyeing, printing, and washing.
Staff guide students to minimise repeated processing, reduce unnecessary water use, and select methods that balance efficiency, reliability, and material outcomes.
Wastewater is managed responsibly by ensuring appropriate handling and disposal of dyes, inks, and chemicals, reducing harmful discharge into drainage systems.
