Clothes made from gelatin could reduce agricultural waste

Associated first by many with colourful gummi bears, gelatin can indeed be turned into yarn and thus clothes. If used on a large scale, it could reduce the amount of agricultural waste, finds a study by the American Chemical Society, recently published in the journal Biomacromolecules.
