The remaining milk can be fermented so that it is easier to remove fat from them. The resulting substance is dehydrated, and the dry mass is filtered. The task is to get natural milk protein casein. Powdered casein is dissolved in alkali, to then pass this solution through a die - a device for producing fibers. They undergo additional purification with sulfuric acid from alkali residues and yarn is obtained at the output.

The fabricated material is used to create fabrics with a number of useful properties. It can not only absorb moisture, but also hold air with unpleasant odors in micro cavities. Such a fabric is easily stretched, resistant to wrinkles, does not fade under ultraviolet light and even has antibacterial properties. Plus big savings - up to five t-shirts can be made from one glass of milk.

Milk tissue is softer than cotton and has a silky surface. The cost of one T-shirt for those who supported the Kickstarter project is $ 35. The retail price is already $ 59.
