LONDON-Imperial College London student Nicole Stjernsward is using plant waste to create natural powder pigments that can be used for paints,inks or textiles.Historically,color came from plants and minerals.With the onset of industrialization,cheap petrochemical colors became the norm,but at a cost to the environment.The colors in most consumer products are now derived from petrochemicals.However,with an ever-increasing global focus on sus-tainability,Stjernsward thinks that pigments are due for change.Stjernsward is a student on the Innovation Design Engineering Master's course,offered jointly by Imperial College London and the Royal College of Art.
