RE: Why i am growing a sustainable alternative to leather in my closet

in #steemstem7 years ago

Can’t wait to see them! Is the scoby naturally occurring in all kombucha making? If so, I bet kombucha drink companies would love to be able to sell it to be processed if there were demand for it as leather- exciting stuff!

Sort:  

yep, it's naturally occurring :) I will go more in depth in the next posts, but the general idea is that it the bacteria creates the layer of cellulose as a barrier, on top of the tea. It does so in order to create a closed off ecosystem, in which the Bacteria and Yeast can survive :)
It could definitely be interesting to team up with a larger producer :D

So whatever container you put it in, it creates it’s own LID!!? Damn Nature , you awesome. Looking forward to learning more!

Yeah, something like that :D I hope that i can use it as paper as well :) Textile like types of material in general actually. Will be pretty cool i hope

The possibilities are endless!
