Collaborate to Make Creative Project with Indonesian and International Students
BACKGROUND
Textiles and Textile Products (PTP) as a national strategic industry has the potential to become a source of foreign exchange for the country and absorb a large number of workers. Indonesia as a top 20 exporter for TPT and towards the top 5 exporters in the world (Year 2030), has problems with the availability of raw materials for TPT, especially polyester and rayon which have not been able to meet TPT production, especially the import rate of cotton fiber is 99%.
Indonesia’s climate favors the growth and production of ramie compared to cotton. The characteristics of ramie fiber have advantages over cotton fiber. Fulfilling the need for raw materials for cotton substitution, both domestic and has the opportunity for export prospects. The innovation of ramie-based creative products can boost various other creative industry sectors.
PURPOSE

To discuss the potential for biodiversity in Indonesia or tropical countries
To discuss the prospect of natural fiber research and contribution of studies to develop innovation products that have economic value.
