THREADS Collaborative for Natural Fiber Futures
Director: Melissa Duhaime, LSA
Co-director: Miki Banu, College of Engineering
Goal: The Michigan THREADS Collaborative will address the environmental and social harms of society’s dependence on synthetic fiber by developing regionally sourced natural fiber solutions for sustainable textiles, composites and building materials in ways that support local supply chains, uplift material cultures and connect people with the places and systems that sustain them.
Our MECHENG 599 — Principles, Materials, Manufacturing, and Devices of Batteries — class gathered for a group photo. Thank you to all students, the ME 599-004 2025 Cohort.
