It's a short article describing the strange materials people are experimenting with to make clothing. There is mushrooms, pineapple, PVC, and others. It's light on details (maybe there are other better articles with more technical information), but I thought it was interesting and worth sharing and discussing.

    If a cow is going to be slaughtered for meat

    Ethically, this is the part I have a problem with. I have no wish to support nor create demand for that happening in the first place. Somehow I doubt tanners get their hides for free from the meat industry. Happy to be proven wrong with a citation though.
