Traditional mannequins are mostly made of glass fibre, polyurethane (PU) or PVC plastic, however, these materials are like energy 'taotie' in the production process, energy consumption remains high, and after the waste, it is like stubborn environmental 'legacy', the road of degradation is Long and difficult, and even in the process of decomposition released harmful substances, posing a potential threat to the ecosystem. According to the industry authority statistics, the annual global production of mannequins in the 50 million to 80 million range hovering, of which more than 90% using non-renewable materials, and ultimately most of the landfill is difficult to dissolve the rubbish, or incinerator to create a source of pollution, such a status quo, so that the environmental protection materials on the replacement of traditional materials to become an inevitable direction of the industry to move forward.
Looking to the future, dummy mannequin field of innovation blueprint, the application of environmentally friendly materials can be described as glittering prospects. Scientists envisage the use of fungal mycelium to cultivate a new material like leather texture, which is not only lightweight and suitable for the needs of the show, but also can be degraded in the natural environment, returning to the ecological cycle. At the same time, bagasse, bamboo or corn starch are cleverly combined with bio-resin to create a strong and low-pollution model skeleton, injecting a 'green soul' into mannequins. Recycling of recycled materials also opens up new perspectives for the industry: recycled plastic pellets can be used in the injection moulding of mannequins, and with the help of advanced 3D scanning technology, broken mannequins can be crushed and re-modelled for printing, thus realising the ideal of a 'zero-waste cycle', and perpetuating the value of the resources that flow through the industry.
However, the road to a greener future is not an easy one. The cost of environmentally friendly materials is generally 30% - 50% higher than that of traditional materials, which is like an economic 'barrier' in front of the industry, limiting the pace of its large-scale application. Part of the biological material is extremely sensitive to environmental humidity, temperature, easy to deformation or mould and other conditions, which is undoubtedly the technical level of the urgent need to overcome the problem. However, we have reason to be optimistic that these challenges will be conquered one by one by virtue of the magnificent power of scientific and technological development. It is expected that by 2030, the dummy mannequin industry will usher in a major change, more than 60% of the dummy mannequins will be cloaked in environmentally friendly materials 'new clothes'. In some developed countries, legislation may even be adopted to exclude mannequins made of non-sustainable materials from the market, promoting the green transformation of the industry from the policy level. As technology continues to improve, 'mannequins that grow' - such as creative products made from living plant frames - are also expected to make a stunning debut, bringing unprecedented visual impact and environmental concept innovation to the fashion display field. The market for 'female mannequin for sale' will continue to grow, 'egg head mannequin', 'female fibreglass mannequin' and other products will continue to change, with a more environmentally friendly and creative attitude, to live up to the public's expectations and lead the future trend of fashion display.
