Part II : Faculty-Specific Program In the 20th century, Japan has developed economically through mass production, mass consumption, and mass disposal, but this century is about to change from such a society to a recycling-oriented society that emphasizes the environment. Similarly, the sericulture industry has also produced large quantities of cocoons as a raw material for industrial production and has contributed to Japan's economic development. I'm in the middle of In addition, silkworms are vulnerable to pesticides such as insecticides, and mulberry gardens use little pesticides. Cocoons are a natural fiber, and the sericulture industry is very environmentally friendly. In this seminar, we are going to use mulberry and silkworm (cocoon) for multi-purpose use. |
