"You can tell what colors are in fashion in New York City or Paris by looking at the rivers of China and India."
This quote was said by Dr. Juan Hinestroza when discussing the country he calls home and his exciting research using natural fibers that could clean up rivers near areas of heavy textile manufacturing so common in developing nations in South and Central America and Asia.
Are those colors still as appealing?
What if there was a way to rid water of dyes from textile manufacturing using nanotechnology and fique fibers?
Consider this -
Pollution from textile manufacturing companies clouds the water in developing nations, such as the Yangtze River near the city of Chongqing in China. This background image represents the problem Dr. Hinestroza's method addresses.
