Gelatin is the thing that makes jelly wobble and stops vegetarians from enjoying Jelly Babies, but very soon you could actually be wearing it. In an ever more eco-conscious society, in ever tougher economic times, scientists have been looking at ways to reduce waste and produce more sustainable products. So they made a yarn out of gelatin. The gelatin is a waste product from the meat production industry, formed from animal by-products such as the skin, cartilage, and bone marrow. It can be spun into threads and treated with chemicals to create a warm, strong yarn that can be made into clothes. This recycling not only uses up wasted by-products, but also reduces the environmental impact of the clothing industry. Would you wear gelatin clothes? It's not all that different from leather or naturally sourced dyes after all.
