The Claw

The executive power of the Pale Garden. The Claw is a small group of mysterious individuals that are tasked with clearing up the mess of a Representative Corp's fall or going after bounties placed on the heads of those who oppose the Pale Garden. They show zero remorse during their operations and care not about civilian lives. If bystanders have to die, they will.

Appearence

The Claw is known for their very businesslike attire with all members wearing either black trenchcoats or suits.

All members are required to hide their faces in some way.

Executioner Gideon

Gideon serves as the 'leader' of The Claw.

Nothing is known about his past other than that he has been alive since the Old World.

This means that his body has likely been replaced by a cybernetic one, allowing him to live over a thousand years. He seems to be well built underneath his attire, standing at a height of 6'2 (187cm).

Appearence-wise Gideon wears a black belted trench coat, a neck tie by his collar, and metallic helmet (or simply his head (?)) that resembles tree bark with 6 holes for his eyes. On his left arm he carries a custom made Asiyah Association Claw, codename "YHWH".

Personality is something Gideon has little of. Those who have encountered him could only hear a word or two leave his body before their torso hit the ground.

Asiyah Association Claw codename "YHWH".

Claw of the Executioner Gideon, custom made by the Asiyah Association by the orders of the Pale Garden.

"Razor sharp, long, blade like fingers. Grip strength comparable to an industrial press, Asiyah Association technology that allows for dimensional travel... Through the wires and, one might just call them veins, runs a liquid version of our Dimension Rift technology. It took us months of non stop work to develope this liquid. All it takes is to activate the liquid and a slice through the air to open a portal. When entering said portal, the carrier is protected by a shield that the claw covers the carrier in before entering... I am sorry for those who will fall to this thing. The human body is not meant for crossing dimensions, let alone hundreds in mere seconds. I can not imagine getting grabbed and sent through hundreds of dimensions and feeling my mind and body explode from within... This world is a horrible place indeed. Yet, when Sir Gideon himself came to look at our work, he said nothing but a single 'Thank you'. That was the first time i had heard those voices ever since i was born." - Project Files

The Role of Cleaning Chemicals in Maintaining Hygiene and Safety

In today’s world, maintaining hygiene and cleanliness is more critical than ever. Cleaning chemicals play a pivotal role in ensuring environments—whether homes, offices, hospitals, or industrial facilities—are not only clean but also safe and healthy. These chemicals are designed to effectively remove dirt, germs, and other contaminants, contributing significantly to overall public health.

Best Cleaning chemicals products are provide by Safenshine: Visit for more details. Black Phenyl ,Dishwash Liquid , Floor Cleaner, etc

Importance of Proper Use

While cleaning chemicals are effective, their improper use can lead to health risks and environmental damage. It’s essential to follow manufacturer guidelines for dilution, application, and disposal. Overuse or incorrect mixtures can result in toxic fumes, skin irritation, or damage to surfaces.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): When using strong cleaning chemicals, it is crucial to wear appropriate PPE such as gloves, masks, and eye protection to prevent contact with skin and eyes and avoid inhaling harmful fumes.

Environmental Impact: Many cleaning chemicals, if not used or disposed of properly, can harm the environment. Some contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that contribute to air pollution, while others may contaminate water supplies. The shift towards eco-friendly and biodegradable cleaning products is gaining momentum as businesses and consumers become more environmentally conscious.

Innovations in Cleaning Chemicals

The cleaning industry is constantly evolving, with new formulations and technologies being developed to improve efficiency and reduce environmental impact. Some of the latest innovations include:

Eco-Friendly Cleaners: These are made from natural, biodegradable ingredients that are less harmful to the environment. They are free from harsh chemicals like phosphates and chlorine, making them safer for both users and the planet.

Enzymatic Cleaners: These use natural enzymes to break down organic matter such as food stains and pet messes, offering an effective and non-toxic cleaning solution.

Antimicrobial Coatings: After cleaning, some surfaces can be treated with antimicrobial coatings that provide long-lasting protection against germs and bacteria, reducing the frequency of cleaning needed.

Concentrated Formulas: To reduce packaging waste and carbon footprint, manufacturers are producing highly concentrated cleaning solutions that require less product for the same level of cleaning power.

Conclusion

Sanitizers are important tools in the effort to maintain cleanliness and safety in facilities. Understanding appropriate use, potential risks, and the importance of environmentally friendly alternatives can help individuals and businesses make informed choices. As the industry continues to innovate, future detergents will likely focus on balance and sustainability, ensuring if we clean up the environment we will not compromise the health of our planet.

Summer Wine (Diluc x F!Reader)

WARNINGS: slight yanedre, soft yandere, non-explicit sex, alcoholism, fluff, angst, jealousy, dubcon, sex under the influence, misogyny (period typical), lore mentions

///

“It’s a pleasure to meet you.” Diluc offers his best, practised smile, reaching out for your hand with a gentle touch, and raising it to his lips. He tries not to think about the way your eyes widen, glittering under the lights like an intricate constellation of yourself.

///

Diluc had never acquired a taste for wine.

He’d spent far too many hours searching for an answer as to why . It's pungent smell that seemed to linger around him like a sour perfume? It's thick texture that dried on his tongue, leaving a coating of something all too unpleasant? Or it’s cunning, inconspicuous way of fusing into your veins, tainting them until your brain is sullied with lies, and your heart beats it in fast, powerful thuds. Until it pours from your eyes and drips off your tongue.

Until it’s staining white fabric red, before his very own eyes.

It’s his job now, to run the winery; as one heavy weight was lifted from his arms, dripping red and lifeless, another was thrust into them. And he, at the heart of the wine industries of Teyvat, bore its burdens.

He would probably have crippled under the pressure, he thinks, if it weren’t for Kaeya.

Not directly him , of course. It had been a long time since he and his brother had parted ways, and now the thread of a relationship between the two men only existed in the traces of fruit and the scarlet ring left around the rim of a glass. But rather, through Kaeya, and his nightly stupors of drinking himself to sleep, Diluc often finds himself meeting new people.

New people like Bennet, whom Diluc had been introduced to not too long ago at a function the Knights of Favonius had attended in Mondstadt’s Adventure Guild, in which Kaeya had introduced Bennet as a young man he had been training. A determined adventurer, it seemed, and adopted son of none other than the members of the guild themselves. Boyish, determined and free; Diluc saw something of his younger self in Bennet’s fires.

New people like Albedo, the odd, but undoubtedly charming alchemist that Kaeya had brought along to a meeting to discuss new development plans for Mondstadt. Diluc had been the prime benefactor, and Albedo, with his genius craftsmanship and insightful comments, had been the one to propose over half of the final designs. He had gained Diluc’s respect, if not only for his intelligence, for his respectful manner.

New people like you .

Hanging off Kaeya’s shoulder with bright eyes, dulled only by the alcohol pounding through your system.

It’s improper for a lady, one part of Diluc nags, to be so bold. The part that was brought up in a traditional household, motherless and privileged with a maid to wait on his every request,  assesses the proximity of you and Kaeya with distaste. But the other part, the part that entails barstools and the drunken chatter of Mondstadt locals, tells him that it’s not his place to judge. That the red wine that trickles from your lips and down your skin in a single droplet is an appreciation, of some form, of his craft. It’s his wine that you’re drinking yourself dumb to, his efforts that you consume. His passion that flows through your bloodstream as your eyes burn at him with a flame that’s rivalled only by his own, curious and oh-so charming.

He appreciates it, he really does.

The grape juice in his glass that he was so carefully tendering to is ignored for small, secret glances at your figure. He notes the more-than-familiar way you grip his brother’s arm, your laugh a little too loud for his dreams of a peaceful life, but the warm sound elicits a small smile from his mouth that he is in no rush to smother.

Your voice is rich like the liquid that seeps down his throat. As your eyes travel over to meet his once more, he brings his glass to his lips, downing the scarlet juice in one swift gulp.

And as he drinks, he’s sure someone must’ve switched his drink for wine, because in the low light of his manor, he could swear you look angelic. Deific. No archon’s touch could have crafted you from the finest jade, he’s certain.

Kaeya introduces you later that evening, not unaware of the stolen glances between the two of you throughout the night. Diluc recognises that it’s cliché- a little too much like a fairytale book he’d read in his library as a child- but you fit into the scenario too well; a beautiful princess meeting none other than her own Prince Charming

‘Kaeya has found another one’, is his first thought. Another young woman, innocent and gentle, seduced by Kaeya’s mystery and allure, and goaded on by the drowsy voice in your head that tells you that maybe you’re special. So, naturally, he’s rather taken aback to learn that you’re a traveller. That you’ve seen Teyvat, walked the same paths as him, fought monsters and emerged victorious. You, with your sweet laugh and angelic eyes that stare up at him without a single conscious thought. A traveller.

It seems as though the two of you met during a raid of some sort that week. Kaeya’s bold claims of being ‘indebted’ to you are loud amongst the chatter of other guests, and you warm slightly at the praise.

“I proposed I pay her back with your finest wine.” Diluc doesn't miss the sparkle in Kaeya’s eyes as he looks down at you, or the way his gaze travels from your eyes to your lips, and finally to meet Diluc’s own gaze, with a wink that tells him Kaeya knows more than he should. Diluc could almost scoff at how appropriate it was. Kaeya always did know too much.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you.” Diluc offers his best, practised smile, reaching out for your hand with a gentle touch, and raising it to his lips. He tries not to think about the way your eyes widen, glittering under the lights like an intricate constellation of yourself.

You greet him at a volume that confirms you’ve had more than enough of his wine for one night, emphasising just how much you’ve enjoyed it with slurred compliments as you smile up at him. You stumble slightly, and Diluc feels a pinch of irritation at the way Kaeya is content to watch you with amusement rather than lend out a hand to steady you, but he stays silent.

Those cunning, blue eyes glint under the soft lighting. “It seems we’d best be going. Y/N can hardly stand, and as Cavalry Captain I think it’s only right she be left in my care.” Diluc remains unaffected by his brother’s provocations and cheap insinuations, far too familiar with them to give in like he had as a child. Kaeya hooks a hand under your legs, hoisting you up from the floor in one fluid motion, to rest in his arms. Diluc’s heart warms at your light yelp. “I fear she may like your wine a little too much, from the looks of it. But what can I say? It always was your most likeable asset.”

He can ignore the petty insult if only to focus on your body in Kaeya’s arms as he carries you through the door, whispering something close to your ear that makes Diluc burn in an irrational envy; your eyes fluttering closed in fatigue.

—-

He humours himself that it’s fate that the two of you meet again. At first, only a brief encounter ensues. Diluc recognises you’re in a hurry to rush off somewhere that morning- no doubt answering to the beck and call of the Knights of Favonius. How unfortunate that you’d find yourself tangled up in such a mess so quickly. On his own adventures, Diluc had been able to experience the culture and history his surroundings had to offer, but it seems to him that you have little chance to recognise the beauty of his own region on your travels. He’d like to show you them sometime.

The greeting is only quick, a brief thank you for the wine and a rather embarrassed apology for your conduct the night before, which Diluc assures you was perfectly fine, and that there was no need to worry for such formalities. And then, with a final thank you, you’re gone, winding your way through the labyrinth of the streets.

Diluc finds himself out on another early stroll the very next day, following the same route, for no particular reason he was willing to admit. He can pretend he doesn’t find a smile appearing on his face as you come round the corner, basket in hand and shielding your eyes from the sunshine. This time, you stop and talk. Diluc’s face amongst the locals sparks smiles and discounts for you as you purchase your necessities, which has you thanking everybody profusely, and failing to hide the wide grin that cracks across your face.

“Perhaps I should ask you to accompany me every time I visit the market” you tease, a little more comfortable in his presence, swinging your basket and looking up at him with a smile.

“Perhaps” he offers.

As it turns out, you’re running out of money, so Diluc’s presence that morning had been entirely beneficial. You tell him how wonderful you think it is that he has such respect from the locals, and how great a man he must be because of it, neither of which Diluc denies, with an uncontrollable smirk at the praise. He offers you financial aid, enquiring as to the lack of support you seem to receive from the Knights of Favonius, which you brush away lightly before refusing his money, in fear you may ‘impose’ on him. He assures you it would be no burden, but you’re stubborn in your finality, though it doesn’t stop him from buying you a parting gift of the freshest strawberries in the market, which you eat as you walk away.

The two of you part that morning with smiles.

Upon the third encounter, you’re touring Monstadt together. It starts in the city, a history of its church, the people and their archon, and then spills into walks to nearby villages that lead to his manor. You spend some time amongst the vinery, Diluc detailing the processes of wine that you enquire into with interest, and finally decide you’d be better tasting the drink, rather than making it.

The two of you walk round to the stables, where you each find a horse. You’re slightly unsteady, explaining that you’ve never had a talent for horse riding, but with Diluc’s support you find yourself travelling at a steady pace, discovering beauty in a land you’ve never seen before. Diluc himself seems enthusiastic to share the history of his region, and you find yourself slightly taken aback at just how much the two of you talk, having found him to be a rather conserved man. But you listen in awe as you’re told of the Four Winds, Dvalin and Barbatos.

Diluc, you learn, is descended from the noble Ragvindr clan, who’s history plays a large part in the development of Mondstadt. It’s all fascinating to you, such strong history ingrained into the city’s society. You can feel some sort of partiality growing within you for the land of wind and song, and those you have met within it.

Finally, Diluc leads you to Starsnatch Cliff, where the two of you sit to rest amongst the flowers. He points to some far off island with the promise of a trip there some time in the future, if you’d be willing to take his offer. You tell him you’ll consider it. He watches you momentarily, admiring the tranquillity of the scene before him. You look peaceful, but he can sense there’s something more to the silence you’ve settled in.

“How long do you plan to stay in Mondstadt?” Diluc finds his mouth moving before he can contemplate the words he speaks.

There’s a moment of silence, almost tense between the two of you as he watches you stare at the flowers. You pluck one from the ground, eyes distant. They hold sadness as you answer him.

You don’t know. For as long as you must. For as long as you can.

He can only hope it’s long enough.

The dandelion clock sways in the breeze, and suddenly its seeds find flight, spurred on by the gentle breaths you let out. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. And then they’re all gone, carried away by the wind.

—-

There’s a warm breeze in the air as he reads through his paperwork of the day, numbers scattered along the edges of pages and small notes jotted in ink on his notepad. The clock ticks away behind him, steady and constant; a sound Diluc finds comfort in on days spent working in his office. His hand moves fluidly on the page, scrawling words with little thought as his mind drifts away.

As he’s signing off for a final shipment of wine, he hears a ringing faintly from the hallway. It’s the same as any other day- three, high-pitched chimes from the bell hanging above the door- but he knows instantly it’s you. He stands up abruptly, calling to Adelinde in a deep voice to allow him to answer it, and instructing her to take the rest of the day off, along with any other maids working. He can see the surprise on the stoic face of his Head Maid, but he can hardly blame her- he can acknowledge that it’s rare for him to have a visitor to whom he gives such personal attention. Nonetheless, she nods in understanding, bowing once as she leaves to instruct the other maids to return home. He makes a mental note to give each of them a bonus upon their return.

As he turns towards the door at the sound of the bell once again, there’s a momentary worry clouding his mind that he’ll answer the door and it will be someone else.

But you’re standing there, looking sheepish and tugging at the hem of your dress as you stare up at him.

Something about running out of money and having nowhere else to go, no one else to turn to. You really are playing into the ‘damsel in distress’ role, Diluc thinks. But he is most certainly deserving of his title as a gentleman, so who would he be to refuse?

You, of course, thank him profusely, making your way into his manor with soft steps across the polished floors.

There’s little said between the two of you, but Diluc can sense there’s something more wrong.

Small conversations echo in the halls of his manor as Diluc leads you into his sitting room. He offers you a drink, which you graciously accept, following him to his own private bar, just in the corner of the room. You sit down on a stool as he walks behind the counter, a fresh smell of pine in the air. The room is spacious, and the bar itself stretches down an entire length of the wall, stocked full with coloured bottles and crystal glasses that sit in perfect, meticulous rows.

He has a beautiful house, you tell him. He simply thanks you, turning to inspect the many glasses behind him, before reaching for one in the centre. It’s an elegant glass, as far as the beauty of a wine glass can go, with the stem carved into vines that disappear at the base. Hand carved, he tells you.

You don’t say much as you sip the drink, but Diluc finds himself amused at how unsubtle your glances are. It’s such a contrast, he notes, from previous encounters, and he can’t decide which side of you he likes better. He’s intimidating, he knows it. Dark and mysterious with just a little too much ice, like an unfamiliar drink one would normally avoid. But as he watches you raise the glass to your lips, he’s reminded once again you hold the courage of an experienced traveller.

Perhaps he shouldn’t have poured you that third glass of wine, but you had insisted as soon as he'd told you it was a specialty still in the works, untouched by any other but himself. And, having a preference for non-alcoholic beverages, naturally he would need another’s opinion.

Your lips reach the rim of the glass slowly, making a drunken show of concentrating hard, which elicits a smile from Diluc. As you take your first sip, it’s almost like the forming of a contract between the two of you, and he feels a sudden heat igniting in his chest that spreads like a wildfire to his lungs and across his skin, its flames dying off to leave a light warmth on his cheeks and a smile tugging at his lips.

‘Summer wine’ , he calls it. Perhaps another cliché, but you laugh and say it’s perfect.

Not ten minutes later, and you finally lead him up the stairs, hand gently encompassing his own as you turn to look back at him, your bright smile lighting up your eyes, which hold just a tint of something darker; some deep lust beneath your drowsy expression. Your hushed giggles resound through the empty halls.

It’s illicit. The two of you have never mutually formed a relationship, but maybe that’s why Diluc finds it all the more thrilling. He’s fallen into a deep chasm of want, drowning in all-consuming lust.

It starts off slow, and he relishes in the taste of your mouth as he lays you down on his bed. Your body is warm against his, and your hands clasp his neck as you bring him closer to your face in a crushing heat. He could almost laugh at your eagerness, he finds it so enthralling , so addicting and so, so you .

You giggle when he separates from you, kissing the top of your nose gently before reaching up to unfasten the buttons of his silk shirt. It clings to his muscles perfectly under the light, and as he slowly removes it, his pale skin comes into view; corded with muscle and scars, but perfect, like a sculpted statue of marble. His eyes fall onto you in a moment of adoration.

Sprawled out on the bed, you’re a painting come to life; bathed in the orange light that cracks through his windows, your skin glowing in the sunset and your breaths heavy in the air. The sheets crinkle around your form with an intended precision, hair like a halo as he stares down, his own form towering over you. The veins in his arms flex with every movement as he moves towards the bed once again, his body finding its way on top of yours.

Your skin is so soft and warm under his touch, rough hands tracing delicate shapes down your stomach. His teeth find your neck, kisses staining your skin with soft bite marks and blossoming bruises that he selfishly wishes would leave you marred. Your moans gradually grow louder, and he can feel your body melting beneath him.

Those hands, so rough and calloused, are soft on your body. They envelop your thighs, parting your legs so gently to deliver the heat of his mouth. He pushes you down further as your fingers find their way to his soft locks, eliciting a groan from beneath you as you grip them tightly, which sends a shiver throughout your body.

He wants to savour you, to worship you as he would his own archons.

He brings you to your peak, not letting go of your legs until you’re squealing above him and calling out his name in breathy pleas that spark something deep inside of him. But he allows you a moment of rest, instead opting to plant kisses on the inside of your thighs in gentle intimacy.

Your breathing slowly becomes regular again and you move yourself to be on top of him. He’s by no means small, and he can’t help staring as you slowly sink down onto him. His hands grasp your sides, coming up to tug at your breasts as you move on top of him, the two of you in tandem. The warmth of the summer sun settles on your skin.

Your hips move in a steady rhythm, but it’s not enough. Diluc grabs your body, manoeuvring the two of you so that he’s above you. Your eyes are wide with shock, and only widen in pleasure as he allows himself to thrust into you with force. He can hear the pounding of the bedrest on the wall, can almost visualise the way the wallpaper will be scuffed the next morning, but he’s unable to care. His grip is on the fat of your hips, tight and borderline painful, but addicting nonetheless. He’s far too deep in a labyrinth of pleasure to think about anything but you and the way you feel around him- so wet, so hot, and so tight.

For you, it’s the most pleasure you’ve ever experienced with another, but for Diluc it’s something else. In the most unholy of intimacies, Diluc resolves that he is wholly in love with you. In his resolution he reaches for your jaw, pulling you up with fervour to meet his lips once again, a deep, wet kiss that the two of you moan into in the silence of the manor. Your bodies ache, breathing heavy and skin sticky from sweat and each other.

He can feel that you’re coming to your peak once again, and he’s not far behind. Your walls clench around him desperately and just as you cry out his hips begin to stutter. He pulls out just in time, coating your stomach with a groan. He stares down at your face, panting. You’re smiling up at him, eyes groggy and lids fluttering.

Diluc finds himself offering a rare smile to the fatigue that overcomes him.

—-

His dream is engulfed in an orange tint, low and warm. It’s you and him in a sea of dandelions that roll in the breeze like a calm tide. You’re telling him something with a tired look on your face as the seeds rise above you like stars in the sunset.

When he wakes, it’s to that familiar orange glow breaking through the white of the silk curtains. Morning heat lingers in the air, and the blossomed bruises ache along his neck as he tilts his body to face you, and the empty pillow that lays beside him, cold and bare.

You’re long gone. To where, he doesn’t know.

As his tongue traces over his lips, he finds the faint taste of something, its intoxicating aroma surrounding him.

An addiction he can never feed.

Summer wine.

From mushroom to luxury handbag: will fungi soon take over from leather?

In the search for alternatives to animal leather, fungi seem to be the new ecological gold. Will they soon hang in our wardrobe?

A shoe, handbag or wallet that naturally recovers from a scratch? For that tour de force, the fashion sector looks to fungi.

Research into mushrooms (or fungi, those are synonyms) as an ecological alternative to leather is on the rise. The possibilities sound futuristic: from self-healing material to 3D printing techniques. Fashion brands such as Balenciaga[1], Stella McCartney[2], PVH[3] (the parent company of Tommy Hilfiger, among others) and Hermès have all entered into partnerships with companies that use fungi.

Or rather: on mycelium[4]. The true potential lies in that network of hyphae, explains Professor of Bioscience Engineering Eveline Peeters (VUB). “Mushrooms are the tip of the iceberg. You can compare the hyphae with the fruit, such as an apple. Mycelium, that's the tree itself.”

9,000 euros coat

How is fungi leather created? First you grow the fungus. A small amount of fungus is added to large containers of nutrient liquid. If you leave it for two weeks at the right humidity and temperature, a layer of hyphae will grow on it.

‘We call that layer the skin,’ says Peeters. "After two weeks it is harvested and treated to make it look like leather." Two weeks of production time is considerably less than the three years that you have to count on average for leather.

Moreover, you need less than a hundred litres of water per square meter of mycelium. For the same amount of leather, that is about 10,000 litres. An interesting advantage for fashion companies that want to get rid of the large ecological footprint of leather. "And then you haven't even mentioned animal suffering," says Peeters.

All this means that many brands trip over each other to test mycelium, especially in the luxury segment. In 2022 Stella McCartney released a first handbag, for his winter collection of 2022 it was Demna Gvasalia at Balenciaga who released a first coat in the material. An oversized, long black coat, with a wink to the movie The Matrix.

But between a limited edition jacket worth €9,000 and a mass-produced product, there are still years of research, says Maurizio Montalti, co-founder of Sqim[5], the company that produced the material for Balenciaga's jacket. It is probably the largest European producer of mycelium with several thousand sheets of one square meter per year. “Within six years we hope to be able to produce on an industrial scale. Scaling up a biological process cannot be done in the blink of an eye,” says Montalti.

Elite ecology

The fact that you can make mycelium in a lab makes it interesting and complex at the same time. "I compare it to antibiotics," says Peeters. “It took years of intensive research to perfect it.”

One of the variants with which the researcher achieves the best results comes from a fungus that one of her students picked in a forest in Linkebeek[6], near Brussels. "How many other varieties would be even better, we have no idea yet."

Mycelium may be more environmentally friendly than leather, but it is not cheaper. Currently, it costs about the same as high-quality leather[7], the leading fashion website Business of Fashion (BoF) reports.

That price tag prevents the material from quickly reaching the general public. ‘And that is a pity,’ says sociologist Aurélie Van de Peer (KU Leuven), who studies the mechanisms behind ecological fashion. “Ecology takes on an elitist side, it becomes a status symbol. That can't be the intention.”

Doubts as to whether mycelium will meet customer expectations also seem to dampen the fashion companies' initial eagerness. In 2021, starting companies that worked on non-animal leather raised almost 900 million euros. A year later that had already dropped to 420 million dollars. This is evident from a report by think tank Material Innovation Initiative[8]. ‘While more research is needed,’ says Montalti.

As good as leather?

Hermès, maker of luxury handbags, invested 125 million dollars in Mycoworks[9], a California company, in early 2022. But apart from some photos of a prototype, we don't see anything on the shelves. The launch was delayed several times.

An official reason is not given, but presumably the end result did not correspond to what luxury brands such as Hermès want to offer: timeless heirlooms that are passed down from generation to generation.

That customers do not adjust their expectations for ecological alternatives, designer Stella McCartney experienced with her first handbag, she told BoF[10]. “To make mycelium a success story, customers should not feel that it is a compromise. From the way it looks to the way it feels, there should be no difference from leather. As long as that is not the case, many brands will not take the plunge.”

After sorting and grading, the copper is cut and shredded into smaller pieces. This makes it easier to handle and speeds up the melting process in later stages. Shredding also increases the surface area, allowing for efficient removal of impurities during the refining phase.

For larger pieces like pipes or wiring, industrial-grade shredders are used to break the copper down into manageable chunks. This step reduces the energy needed for processing and enhances the overall efficiency of the recycling operation.

Step 4: Melting and Refining

The shredded copper is now ready for the most critical step: melting. In high-temperature furnaces, the copper is melted into a liquid form. During this process, impurities such as dirt, paint, or non-metallic materials are removed. Advanced refining techniques ensure that the molten copper achieves the desired purity level.

Once melted, the copper is poured into molds to create ingots, sheets, or other standardized forms that can be reused in various industries. This process ensures that the recycled copper retains the same quality as newly mined copper, making it an excellent alternative for manufacturing needs.

Step 5: Manufacturing New Products

The final step in the Copper Recycling process is transforming the refined copper into new products. Recycled copper is highly versatile and finds its way into a wide range of applications. From electrical wiring and plumbing systems to construction materials and even art pieces, recycled copper is in high demand.
