Ammo Liao:Bio-knit designer ammo liao created ‘bio-knit’ in response to the unchecked waste caused by the shoe industry. by mimicking organic organisms and systems in nature, liao developed a single, multi-functional material that can simultaneously display soft, flexible, and robust textures. goods made with a single element could potentially have massive effect on the manufacturing and recycling of any industry, not just footwear. obvious benefits include: conservation of natural resources, less solid-waste in landfills, energy savings, greenhouse/pollution reduction due to ridding of unnecessary creation processes, and drastically reducing the cost of recycling. a pair of sneakers was made by liao with no other material then ‘bio-knit’ in order to showcase the potential it has.
