Super rad concept! I can't wait to see more- folks with the smarts the passion and the creativity to create sustainable alternatives to the products that are damaging the planet are going to save the world!

Keep up the good work!

Aww thanks a bunch :) All the feedback is very heartwarming. I'm looking forward to making more updates

Can’t wait to see them! Is the scoby naturally occurring in all kombucha making? If so, I bet kombucha drink companies would love to be able to sell it to be processed if there were demand for it as leather- exciting stuff!

yep, it's naturally occurring :) I will go more in depth in the next posts, but the general idea is that it the bacteria creates the layer of cellulose as a barrier, on top of the tea. It does so in order to create a closed off ecosystem, in which the Bacteria and Yeast can survive :)
It could definitely be interesting to team up with a larger producer :D

So whatever container you put it in, it creates it’s own LID!!? Damn Nature , you awesome. Looking forward to learning more!

Yeah, something like that :D I hope that i can use it as paper as well :) Textile like types of material in general actually. Will be pretty cool i hope

The possibilities are endless!
