Spoiled milk can be upcycled. Mind=blown.
And it’s not a new invention, either. Invented in the 1930s, milk-based fabric was used to stretch the supply of wool and cotton.
Now a talented German designer Anke Domaske has improved the process to create a silky textile made from milk fiber that she has trademarked ‘Qmilk.’ Extracting the casein from the spoiled milk, she creates the fabric with water and no harmful chemicals. The improved part: there’s no waste and it is biodegradable.
The days of people collecting rags and reusing fabric to re-create clothing always impressed me. And now that I know people are creatively collecting spoiled food that we can’t healthily consume in our bodies, to reuse and consume on our bodies….My mind is definitely blown.
If even spoiled milk can be upcycled, my excuses for disposing of anything are quickly coming to an end.
