E Benyus, who hopes companies will ultimately transcend mere product design to embrace nautre on a more holistic level, breaks biomimicry into tree tiers. On a basic (albeit complicated)lever, industry will mimic nature’s precise and efficient shapes, structures and geometrics. The microstructure of the lotus leaf, for example, causes raindrop to bead and name off immediately, while self--cleaning and drying its surface-a discovery that the British paint company has exploited in a line of building paints. The layered structure of a butterfly wing or peacock plume, which creates iridescent color by refracing light. Is being mimicked by cosmetic giant L’oreal in a soon to be released line of eye shadow, lipstick, and nail varnish.
F the next level of biomimicry involves imitating natural processes and biochemical recipes; engineer and scientists are now looking at the nasal glands of seabirds ot solve the problem of desalination. The abalone’s ability to self-assemle its incredibly durable shell in water, using local ingredients, has inspired an alternative to the conventional and often toxic, heat, beat and treat manufacturing method. How other organisms deal with harmful bacteria can also be instructive researchers for the Australian company Biosignal, for instance, observed a seaweed that lives in an environment teeming with microbes to figure out how it kept free of the same sorts of bacterial colonies. Calld biolms, that cause plaque on your teeth and clog up your bathroom drain. They determined that the seaweed uses natural chemicals called furnace, that jam the cell to cell signaling systems that allow bacteria to communicate and gather.


H zero Emissions Research and Initiatives(ZERI), a global network of scientists, entreprencurs, and educators, has initiated ecoindustrial projects that attempt to find ways to reuse all wastes as raw materials for other processes. Storm Brewing in Newfoundland Canada-in one of a growing number of projects around the world applying ZERI principles-is using spent grains, a by-product of the beer-maing process, to make bread and grow mushrooms.
G as Industries continue to adop nature’s models’, entire manufacturing processes could operate locally, with local ingredients -like the factories that use liquefied beach sand to make windshields. As more scientists and engineers begin to embrace biomimicry, natural organisms will come to be regarded as mentors, their processes deemed masterful.
