The hub will foster local innovation, promote circular economy principles and strengthen the bamboo textile value chain in the region, an official release from the university said.
“Through the programme, they are provided with textile fibres that are locally developed and produced, truly Filipino, truly natural and truly renewable. This unique and strategic product positioning can generate higher value as the fibre is converted to fabric and into apparel, among other products,” DOST secretary Renato Solidum Jr said.
The hub is the second hub in the region and can produce 40 kg of raw bamboo textile fibre. It will also conduct research on bamboo textile fibre.
