I was doing my usual web browsing and I came upon this interesting fabric made from food resources. – Milk.

This strange and amazing textile innovation is the fusion of Biology and Fashion design.
‘Qmilk’ – The bio milk fabric is made form sour/spoiled milk which is unsafe for human consumption and would normally be thrown away.

What a waste right?
So the Biologist/Textile artist, Anke Domaske, came out with a solution to recycle the spoiled milk into milk-based fabrics.

This zero-waste fabric requires no harmful chemicals to make, and uses less water in the production process than other milk-based fabrics. – Webecoist

The process was done so by extracting the proteins, found in the spoiled milk, and eliminating the liquids within thus forming ‘Milk’ threads that can be use for fabric.
Adding on, the fabric feels like silk and does not harm the environment in the production process as compared to producing silk.
