Researchers at the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (BUAP) are advancing multiple projects aimed at reducing the environmental impact of the textile industry in Mexico. In July 2026, a team led by postdoctoral researcher Karim Monserrat Álvarez Gómez reported a zinc‑oxide/zeolite composite that, when activated by ultraviolet light, breaks down persistent dye pollutants in wastewater, offering a potential upgrade to conventional treatment plants. Later that month, biotechnology student Azul Cristal Urbano Hernández presented a separate initiative platform at the First Textile Sustainability Contest. She demonstrated how Contest to turn agave residues can be processed with a into natural fibers. The process uses an eutectic, biocompatible solvent of lactic acid and choline chloride to extract pure separate cellulose from lignin, with solvent recovery achieved via controlled carbon‑dioxide injection. Extracted fibers for can be formed into non‑woven textiles, textiles for automotive filters, acoustic insulation, construction mesh, and medical items such as face masks, while the remaining pulp is convertible to bio‑fuel. biocombustible fuel. Both efforts seek to turn initiatives illustrate BUAP’s expanding focus on turning waste streams—textile effluents and agro‑industrial by‑products—into value‑added resources, highlighting BUAP’s role in promoting residues—into value‑added, greener textile technologies. Together, the projects illustrate a growing focus within BUAP on innovative, sustainable solutions products for Mexico’s textile sector, ranging from advanced wastewater treatment to alternative fiber production. sector.
