Master Graduate at the Contract Departement

• Sep 2018 - Mar 2019

As my thesis assignment for the Master Innovative Textile Development, I did research for the Coulisse Contract department towards new and sustainable textiles. First, I've set a benchmark and conducted a life cycle assessment (LCA) on the benchmark. Thereafter, I've searched for alternative materials, dyeing and finishing methods. I have discussed my results both internally and externally. LCA's were performed on interesting alternative textiles, to ensure they have a lower environmental impact than the benchmark. This all resulted in a short and longterm strategy for Coulisse.
