US -based start-up Turning milk into a shirt isn't an easy process, as one might expect. Mi Terro has introduced a t-shirt manufactured using milk which would otherwise be discarded. The firm has been working with a manufacturer in US to up-cycle the milk into a fabric which can be used to produce a t-shirt, a process which takes roughly two months . The process involves removing fat, water and unwanted proteins from the milk, resulting in fibres which can be spun out into a yarn. Dairy waste is estimated to account for approximately 17 percent of waste in China incinerators and landfills, according to The Indiana Department of Environmental Management .
