"Cogon" In this innovative project, we explored the remarkable potential of Cogon grass white seed fiber to create a sustainable and versatile textile material. By carefully processing and weaving this natural resource, we developed a unique fabric that combines lightness, comfort, and eco-friendliness. This endeavor aimed to harness the inherent qualities of Cogon grass, showcasing its ability to contribute to the textile industry's shift towards more sustainable and environmentally conscious practices. Our project highlights the promising applications of this natural fiber, offering a glimpse into a more sustainable future for textile production.
