Yang created a glass-like dress from the algae material
When exposed to water, the garment is able to decompose within hours. For example, the material decomposes within one hour when soaked in alkaline water at a temperature of 80 degrees celsius, or in less than 24 hours if soaked in 60-degree-celsius water.
Alternatively, the garment would degrade naturally in rain, river or sea water – another element dependent on the environment in which it is worn.
