Many people in the fashion industry understand the importance of protecting the environment and our natural resources. Making fabric uses a lot of natural resources. It's important to find new ways of making fabric that use less natural resources. Scientists and fashion designers have already begun making eco-friendly clothing.Now, the future of eco-friendly fashion could be in your kitchen! For example, fabric from milk and used coffee beans can be created in a lab, and turned into clothing. One of the most eco-friendly fabrics being used today is made from kombucha - a fermented tea.Making kombucha fabric uses very little water, no chemicals, and only natural dyes. When you add yeast, sugar, and bacteria to the tea, it creates cellulose. Cellulose is the basis of all natural fabrics. Suzanne Lee was one of the first people to start designing kombucha clothes.Sacha Laurin creates clothing and jewelry from kombucha fabric. It takes Laurin about one week to grow enough fabric for one dress. Right now, there isn't a way to make large amounts of kombucha fabric at once. Another problem is that water ruins kombucha fabric. Clothing made from biomaterials is also very expensive. Laurin sells her kombucha clothing designs for $500 to $1,000. But those who want eco-friendly clothes are interested because "it's not just biodegradable, it's compostable" as Lee says. This means that kombucha clothing can be recycled naturally after being worn, because it's made of living cellulose. It can also be eaten!What do you think? What other delicious futuristic "fabric" ideas could scientists find in the kitchen?
