It was a bright and sunny day in Southern California where first time parent/ designer/co-founder of Babysoy thought shopping for a newborn baby should be more easy, fun, and aesthetically pleasing. On the same bright day, her life-long friend approached her with a beautifully soft sample of soybean fiber and asked how she would like to dress her baby in it. Together, the two friends who are design-conscious and environmentally-aware decided to start babysoy to benefit the new generation of design-savvy-earth-friendly expecting parents and their babies.
About Babysoy's Soy Bean Fiber
Soybean fiber is a sustainable textile fiber made from renewable natural resources. It is part of an effort moving consumers away from petrochemical textile products and turning waste into useful products.
Manufacturing is done through using cutting-edge bioengineering to extract proteins from leftover dregs from soybean oil/tofu/soymilk production. Then the protein liquids are forced through a device resembling a showerhead, called a spinneret, to make liquid soy. Finally, the liquid soy is solidified to make soybean fiber.
The raw material, bean dregs, after having their protein extracted, can be used as fodder or fertilizer. All auxiliaries used in production of soybean fiber are of a harmless nature, and they are recyclable making the production process a closed end process.
Soybean fiber is part of "sustainable clothing", where sustainable raw materials or waste are used to produce textile products.
