The Ouagadougou Polytechnic School is present at the Ouagadougou International Crafts Fair (SIAO) to present its creation of natural dyes."Today, we are here to present an innovation in the field of clothing and textiles. We are working on the natural dye to apply it to Faso Danfani in order to enhance what we have here in Burkina Faso," said textile engineer from the Polytechnic School of Ouagadougou, Assimi Nikiema, on Saturday, speaking to AIB.Mr. Nikiema said that these natural dyes will replace synthetic dyes, which have shown their limitations because they pollute the environment and have consequences on health."We are working to use Burkinabe plants from which we have extracted the dye, which is natural and ecological. These dyes are not polluting and replace chemical dyes," he stressed.The Ouagadougou Polytechnic School is exhibiting for the first time at the Ouagadougou International Crafts Fair (SIAO) thanks to the support of the African Intellectual Property Organization (OAPI), whose mis sion is to protect various creations and inventions.Textile engineer Nikiema takes advantage of visits to his stand to also present the École Polytechnique de Ouagadougou, an engineering school in design engineering with integrated preparatory classes.The School currently has five major courses: textile engineering, mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, computer engineering and telecommunications engineering.
