Resumen

Partiendo de la explotación imprudente del suelo como recurso a disposición del ser humano, esta investigación pone de relieve el papel de la industria textil con respecto al suelo y expresa la urgencia de explorar prácticas de restauración mediante un enfoque material regenerativo. Desde la economía circular hasta la agricultura regenerativa, el diseño tiene el poder y la responsabilidad de ejercer su impactante papel a la hora de influir en un cambio de mentalidad general dentro de la industria y esbozar "escenarios preferibles", tanto a través de acciones especulativas como prácticas. Este artículo examina la literatura sobre prácticas y metodologías relacionadas con el ecosistema del suelo. Trazando las líneas entre suelo-agricultura-textil, la investigación propone examinar el origen del suelo de los textiles y practicar vías circulares naturales a través del compostaje de ropa. En última instancia, es una reflexión sobre el potencial de una industria textil centrada en el suelo, en la que los residuos no existen como tales, sino que se convierten en nuevos "alimentos" siguiendo su ciclicidad natural y regenerando el ecosistema.
