An Italian designer turned waste milk into clothes. How did he do it?

If we encounter expired milk at home, we often choose to throw away the expired milk, because after the milk expires, not only will the taste become very bad, but it will also breed a lot of bacteria, affecting our health. In good health. However, in Italy, two fashion designers made clothes out of expired milk and won unanimous praise.

You may have a question, that is, milk is a liquid. How can liquid be used to make clothes? In fact, making clothes from milk is not a very complicated project. Because milk is rich in protein, after heating the milk and then pouring in a certain amount of hydrochloric acid for reaction, a solid can be generated. This solid is casein in milk.

After extracting casein, people will dry the casein into powder, add water and other chemical additives, and then put it into an extruder for extrusion. It can be made into fine milk fiber. After obtaining the milk fiber, people make it into milk cloth.

Many people may find this approach very incredible. In fact, people have already mastered this technology as early as the 1920s and 1930s. The Italians once widely used milk as a raw material for textiles, but after more advanced textile technology became available, this textile technology slowly withdrew from the stage.

Nowadays, the reason why these two female Italian designers choose to use milk for weaving is not only to inherit this ancient textile technology, but also for the reason of using milk for weaving. Its consumption The amount of water is much less than other materials, and the carbon emissions will be greatly reduced.

Moreover, clothes made of milk are very breathable. After wearing them, your skin will feel extremely moisturized. Although this kind of clothes made of milk is very environmentally friendly, its price is not cheap at all. It is understood that an ordinary short-sleeved shirt made of milk costs 1,200 yuan.
