KOMBUCHA TO TEXTILES?

Do You Like Drinking Kombucha?

Kombucha is a fizzy, fermented drink made from black or green tea, sugar, and something called a “SCOBY” — a mix of good bacteria and yeast. People have been sipping on it for over 2,000 years! Since it’s a fermented drink, it contains probiotics, which are believed to help keep your gut happy and healthy.

But here’s something you might not expect — according to Happy Eco News, scientists have found a way to turn kombucha into fabric!

The magic lies in the SCOBY. When it's fed sugary tea or coffee, certain bacteria produce a natural fiber called cellulose. This creates a thick, harvestable sheet that can be used as a type of eco-friendly fabric. It’s similar to cotton but has its own unique qualities.

Pretty wild, right? The idea is that this could be a more sustainable alternative to traditional materials and might help reduce the fashion industry’s environmental impact.

Would you ever try wearing clothes made from kombucha? It might just be the future of fashion — and a stylish way to help the planet.
