In 2021, with a vision to weave sustainability into thevery fabric of our future, I initiated the "MaterialFutures" project at RMIT University. This venture wasborn from a grant aimed at exploring the experimentalfabrication of bacterial cellulose as a potentialbiomaterial, a journey that began with the question: Howcan we turn nature's processes into sustainablesolutions for our material needs?My fascination with kombucha bacteria cellulose as amaterial took root during my tenure in New Zealand,where my work revolved around new materialism andsustainable alternatives. The move to Vietnam was apivotal moment, offering a fertile ground to localisethe process, to blend tradition with innovation, and tocontinue a transnational dialogue on sustainability.The significance of this project lies in its potentialto revolutionise the way we think about materials. InVietnam, the rapid rise in plastic consumption has ledto an environmental tipping point. Our response is aproject that not only confronts this crisis but also presents a blueprint for change, transforming local food waste into viable, bio-basedmaterials. This is a design for life, one that empowers communities to create andinnovate within the rhythms of their local ecosystems.The theoretical and practical significance of our work is profound. By engaging localcommunities in sustainable provisioning systems, we are planting the seeds for a newkind of growth. The portable community labs, a concept developed in New Zealand, arebeing adapted to Vietnamese conditions, serving as a model for sustainableenterprise. Our aim is to weave a narrative of innovation, one that is grounded inlocal knowledge and global environmental consciousness.Through participatory action research, we are embarking on a journey of co-creationwith the communities we serve. This cookbook is a tangible manifestation of thatjourney, a guidebook for the curious, the innovators, and the change-makers. It is arepository of knowledge, a collection of possibilities, and a chronicle of ourcollective experience.I envision kombucha cellulose fabric as a canvas for the future, where the onlylimits to its application are the boundaries of our imagination. This work is aboutredefining categories, about staying open to the potential of materials that do notfit neatly into the categories of paper, leather, or plastic.ForewordAs an Associate Professor, my role has been to bridge the gap between researchfunding and community impact, to translate academic inquiry into tangible, community-based solutions. The importance of interdisciplinary collaboration cannot beoverstated; it is the confluence of diverse perspectives that enriches ourunderstanding and application of these materials.To our readers, this cookbook is an invitation to innovation. It is a call to actionto grow, to experiment, and to discover practical solutions to the unsustainablematerials that pervade our lives. We hope you will be inspired to contribute to thisfield, to apply these learnings in your own practices, and to join us in reimaginingthe material world.Looking ahead, our research continues to evolve.

About the ProjectInnovating with Nature: The "Material Futures" Initiative"Material Futures" is not just a project title—it's a vision for a sustainablerevolution in material science, spearheaded by a dedicated team at RMITUniversity in Vietnam. This initiative stands at the forefront of experimentalresearch, exploring the untapped potential of bacterial cellulose and itscapacity to form the basis of a new, eco-friendly material paradigm.The Research QuestOur quest began with a challenge: to harness the power of natural processes increating materials that go beyond sustainability—materials that are anintegral part of an ecological cycle. The project's core objective is todevelop a new provisioning system that leverages Vietnam's unique climaticconditions and biodiversity to produce biomaterials that can replaceconventional, polluting substances.A Laboratory Without WallsCentral to our approach is the concept of the 'portable community lab.' Theselabs are designed to be as adaptable and resilient as the bacterial cellulosethey help produce, enabling local communities to become architects of theirown sustainable futures. By taking the lab to the people, we are democratisingaccess to biotechnology and fostering a grassroots movement of materialinnovation.The Fabric of CommunityAt the intersection of biology and community development, "Material Futures"is pioneering a participatory model of innovation. Our workshops are more thanjust educational programs; they are incubators for ideas and action, whereparticipants are empowered to contribute to the project's evolution throughhands-on experimentation and collaborative problem-solving.A Living ArchiveThe project's outcomes are meticulously documented and analysed, creating aliving archive of knowledge. This repository is not static; it grows andadapts, informed by ongoing testing, community feedback, and the continuouscycle of action research. It serves as a beacon for designers, entrepreneurs,and environmentalists, offering a database of material properties,applications, and ecological impacts.The Ripple EffectThrough "Material Futures," we aim to catalyse a ripple effect of innovationthat extends beyond the laboratory or workshop. By engaging with local foodsystems and waste streams, we are not just creating materials; we arereshaping economies, enhancing environmental awareness, and building a modelfor sustainable development that can be replicated globally.A Sustainable TapestryThis initiative weaves together threads of research, design, and communityengagement to create a tapestry of sustainability. It is a project that growsorganically, branching out into new areas of inquiry and application, drivenby the ethos of ecological harmony and the spirit of innovation.8 About the ProjectInnovating with Nature: The "Material Futures" Initiative"Material Futures" is not just a project title—it's a vision for a sustainablerevolution in material science, spearheaded by a dedicated team at RMITUniversity in Vietnam.

Issue: SCOBY Not Forming ProperlyPossible Causes: Insufficient temperature, incorrect tea-to-sugar ratio,contamination, or poor-quality starter culture.Solutions: Ensure the environment is between 24-29°C. Check that you'reusing the correct ratio for your recipe (3 liters of water, 30 grams oftea, 300 grams of sugar, and 300 ml of starter liquid). Use a high-quality starter culture and ensure all equipment is sterile to preventcontamination.Issue: Mold Growth on SCOBY or CellulosePossible Causes: Contamination from non-sterile equipment, airbornespores, or temperatures too low to support fermentation.Solutions: Always use sterile equipment. If mold appears, discard theSCOBY and cellulose layer, as mold cannot be safely removed. Increase theambient temperature to promote healthy fermentation.Issue: Thin or Weak Cellulose FabricPossible Causes: Insufficient fermentation time, weak SCOBY, or notenough sugar.Solutions: Allow more time for fermentation so the cellulose layer canthicken. If the SCOBY is weak, consider replacing it. Ensure you areadding the correct amount of sugar to feed the bacteria and yeast.Issue: Cellulose Fabric is Too BrittlePossible Causes: Over-drying or low humidity during the drying process.Solutions: Do not over-dry the fabric. Allow it to dry in an area withmoderate humidity, or use a humidifier. The fabric should be flexible,not brittle when fully dried.Issue: Unpleasant Odour from the FabricPossible Causes: Bacterial contamination or prolonged fermentation.Solutions: Ensure the SCOBY is healthy and the fermentation environmentis clean. If the odour persists, discard the batch and start again with afresh SCOBY and sterile conditions.Issue: Fabric DiscolourationPossible Causes: Use of coloured teas or additives, exposure to lightduring fermentation, or metal contamination.Solutions: Use white or green tea to minimise discolouration. Ferment ina dark environment to prevent light exposure from affecting the fabric.Ensure that no metal comes into contact with the SCOBY or the fabric, asthis can cause discolouration and potentially harm the culture.Troubleshooting30 Issue: SCOBY Not Forming ProperlyPossible Causes: Insufficient temperature, incorrect tea-to-sugar ratio,contamination, or poor-quality starter culture.Solutions: Ensure the environment is between 24-29°C.

Ensure you areadding the correct amount of sugar to feed the bacteria and yeast.Issue: Cellulose Fabric is Too BrittlePossible Causes: Over-drying or low humidity during the drying process.Solutions: Do not over-dry the fabric. Allow it to dry in an area withmoderate humidity, or use a humidifier. The fabric should be flexible,not brittle when fully dried.Issue: Unpleasant Odour from the FabricPossible Causes: Bacterial contamination or prolonged fermentation.Solutions: Ensure the SCOBY is healthy and the fermentation environmentis clean. If the odour persists, discard the batch and start again with afresh SCOBY and sterile conditions.Issue: Fabric DiscolourationPossible Causes: Use of coloured teas or additives, exposure to lightduring fermentation, or metal contamination.Solutions: Use white or green tea to minimise discolouration. Ferment ina dark environment to prevent light exposure from affecting the fabric.Ensure that no metal comes into contact with the SCOBY or the fabric, asthis can cause discolouration and potentially harm the culture.Troubleshooting30

TroubleshootingIssue: Difficulty in Peeling the Fabric from the CulturePossible Causes: Over-fermentation or a cellulose layer that's too thick.Solutions: Harvest the cellulose fabric before it becomes too thick,which can make it difficult to remove. If it's too late, gently peel itaway from the edges and use a flat spatula to ease the process.Issue: Inconsistent Texture or ThicknessPossible Causes: Uneven distribution of tea and sugar, varyingtemperatures, or inconsistent SCOBY health.Solutions: Stir the tea mixture well before adding the SCOBY. Try tomaintain a consistent temperature throughout the fermentation area. Ifthe SCOBY is producing inconsistent results, consider starting with a newculture.Issue: Cellulose Fabric Tears EasilyPossible Causes: Harvesting too early or an imbalance in the fermentationenvironment.Solutions: Allow the cellulose to ferment until it reaches an optimalthickness (at least 0.6 cm). Check the pH level of the mixture; it shouldbe between 2.5 and 4. If it's too high, the environment may not be acidicenough, which can weaken the cellulose structure.materialfutures .llk o m b u c h a31 TroubleshootingIssue: Difficulty in Peeling the Fabric from the CulturePossible Causes: Over-fermentation or a cellulose layer that's too thick.Solutions: Harvest the cellulose fabric before it becomes too thick,which can make it difficult to remove.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)Q: What is kombucha cellulose fabric?A: Kombucha cellulose fabric is a sustainable textile derived from thefermentation of tea using a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast(SCOBY). The process yields a layer of cellulose that can be harvestedand processed into a versatile fabric.Q: How is kombucha cellulose fabric made?A: The fabric is made by fermenting sweetened tea with a SCOBY. Overtime, the SCOBY consumes the sugar and produces a layer of cellulose atthe surface of the liquid. This cellulose can then be harvested, cleaned,and dried to create a fabric.Q: Can kombucha cellulose fabric be dyed?A: Yes, it can be dyed using both natural and synthetic dyes. The fabricabsorbs colours well, which makes it suitable for a variety of designapplications.Q: Is kombucha cellulose fabric durable?A: Yes, when processed correctly, kombucha cellulose fabric can be quitestrong and durable. Its tensile strength can be enhanced through varioustreatments and by layering sheets of cellulose.Q: How long does it take to grow kombucha cellulose fabric?A: The growth time can vary depending on environmental conditions, but ittypically takes between 7 to 14 days for a usable layer of cellulose toform.Q: What are the environmental benefits of using kombucha cellulosefabric?A: Kombucha cellulose fabric is biodegradable, compostable, and producedfrom renewable resources, making it an environmentally friendlyalternative to synthetic materials. Its production also encourages theuse of waste products, like unused tea and fruit scraps, contributing toa circular economy.Q: Can kombucha cellulose fabric be mass-produced?A: While kombucha cellulose fabric is currently more of a niche material,research and development are ongoing to scale up production. The processrequires specific conditions and care, making it more labor-intensivethan traditional textiles.Q: What can kombucha cellulose fabric be used for?A: It has potential applications in fashion, packaging, and even as aleather or plastic substitute. Its unique properties also make it aninteresting material for artists and designers.Q: Is kombucha cellulose fabric vegan?A: Yes, it is a vegan material as it is made from bacterial cellulose,which does not involve animal products or byproducts in its production.Q: How do you care for kombucha cellulose fabric items?A: Care for kombucha cellulose fabric items varies depending on how thefabric has been processed and treated. Generally, it should be kept dryand stored in a cool, dark place to preserve its quality. If it has beenwaterproofed or treated for durability, it may be more resilient andrequire less careful handling.Q: Can I make kombucha cellulose fabric at home?A: Yes, you can grow kombucha cellulose fabric at home with the rightconditions and materials. It requires a SCOBY, tea, sugar, and a cleanenvironment to avoid contamination.Q: Are there any safety concerns with kombucha cellulose fabric?A: As long as the fabric is properly cleaned and maintained, there are noinherent safety concerns. However, it's important to ensure that theSCOBY is not contaminated with harmful bacteria during the fermentationprocess.32 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)Q: What is kombucha cellulose fabric?A: Kombucha cellulose fabric is a sustainable textile derived from thefermentation of tea using a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast(SCOBY).
