Industrial symbiosis: from the sea to regenerative children's fashion in Santa Catarina

This article presents the development stages of a textile solution created within the context of the course Textile Material: A Future-Oriented Approach, part of the Professional Master's Program in Fashion at the University of the State of Santa Catarina (Udesc). Through the application of the GODP method (Project Development Guidance Framework), a biodegradable textile coating was conceived in the form of a ink made from sodium alginate and plant- also mineral-based pigments. The formulation aims to provide the fabric functional properties such as water resistance and protection, while also proposing pathways for industrial symbiosis in the state of Santa Catarina. The main objective of the study is to explore regenerative textile alternatives capable of mitigating the environmental impacts of the industry and contributing to the development of more conscious consumers. This is an academic research project with an exploratory and interdisciplinary nature, whose implementation requires technical and scientific validation across different fields of knowledge.
