Organic cotton is seemingly and thankfully becoming more commonplace. With that in mind, we continue to look for the next frontier. And as oil prices remain high, the US Department of Energy is planning to convert 25% of its chemical manufacturing to an agriculture base. What does that mean? Soy, corn and possibly even weeds will all be turned into hard plastics or silky fabrics in the coming years (just as long as no one mentions hemp). Cheers.

We will post more in the future as we find out more about this emerging trend…
