Lab-Grown T. rex Leather

SOURCE www.nbcnews.com
Researchers in the U.K. are working on producing high-end clutches and totes made from T. rex skin grown from fossilized remains. The project aims to create sustainable and biodegradable leather that is structurally identical to traditional leather. Experts are skeptical about the feasibility and cost of producing lab-grown T. rex leather commercially.

Key Points

  • Researchers are attempting to grow sustainable leather from T. rex skin
  • The lab-grown material will be biodegradable and structurally identical to traditional leather
  • Experts are skeptical about the feasibility and cost of the project

Pros

  • Potential for creating sustainable and biodegradable leather
  • Exploring innovative and ethically sound solutions in the fashion industry

Cons

  • Feasibility and cost of producing lab-grown T. rex leather commercially is uncertain
  • Properties of resulting collagen are likely similar to other alternative leathers
