👕 Making fashion a little less washed up. 💧 Your T-shirt might be a lot thirstier than you think! Did you know that it takes ca. 2,700 liters of water just to make this staple of your wardrobe? That is the daily drinking requirement of one person in three years! 🌍 Reducing water can be a game-changer for sustainability. Dr. Molla T. Abate, Postdoctoral Researcher at Die Forschende Hochschule Hof, is leading groundbreaking research that could revolutionize water consumption in the dyeing and finishing of our clothes. For that, he is trying to give the use of supercritical CO2 technology a new focus. After having been selected for the Georg Forster Research Fellowship by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in 2023, Dr. Abate has been working and living in Bavaria. 👉 Find out more about his fascinating work, his global research career (starting at Bahir Dar University) and his new life in Hof: https://lnkd.in/e49z9PZ5 Scientific Coordination Office Bavaria-Africa (WKS Bayern-Afrika), EURAXESS AFRICA German Information Centre Africa Mekdelawit Yeshitila, Ph.D #ResearchInBavaria #TextileResearch #MyNewLifeInBavaria #GlobalResearch #PostDoc
