  Believe it or not, in the near future people won't just wear a chicken feather suit at Halloween or for fancy dress.Chickens, which have long provided food for dinner, will also be used to make our clothes as well.Last Monday, a report by the University of Nebraska in the US said in the future it should be possible to use chicken feathers and rice straw to make clothes.

  “All those wasted agriculture products don't have to be wasted anymore, ” researcher Yiqi Yang said.

  New technology will change these by-products into something similar to wool, linen, or cotton.Because producing synthetic fabrics(合成纤维)causes pollution, scientists wanted to find a cheaper and environmentally friendly replacement.They turned their eyes to the millions of tons of rice straw and chicken feathers that are widely and cheaply available worldwide.Moreover they don't cause pollution like petroleum-based fibers(石油合成纤维).

  Chicken feathers are mostly made up of the same kind of protein found in wool.A sweater made from chicken feathers would feel just like a wool sweater.It would be lighter in weight and warmer, too.

  According to Yang and his team, rice straw, on the other hand, can produce a fabric that looks and feels similar to cotton or linen.The process is also environmentally friendly.The total production cost of rice fiber is about 50 cents per pound, while cotton now sells for about 60 cents a pound.

  Maybe some day in the future you will wear fabulous clothes like these.
