Abstract

The renowned proponent of “biomimicry” [1], defined it as a science of imitating the designs and processes of nature to solve human problems, while using ecological standards for the judgement of human innovations.

The need for such approaches as biomimicry becomes even more compelling as humans realised that our industrial activities are at the threshold of over-stretching the bearing capacity of the planet- earth. Extraction of materials for industrial application is usually associated with negative environmental impacts, and depletion of high-quality resources.
