How to Grow Leather-Like Material Using Bacteria (Making Kombucha Leather)
Leather is a fantastic material who's use has been pervasive through most of human history. But it's production is a scourge on the environment due to both the methods used to tan it, and the source of the starting material. In this video we explore a method for making a leather like material, without harming the environment, and without having to harm any animals. The starting material is a waste product from a drink that is becoming increasingly popular: Kombucha. As kombucha cultures grow, a layer of cellulose and proteins grow on the surface of the liquid. With a bit of simple processing, this layer can be transformed into an incredibly strong and flexible material that looks and feels like real leather.
