While neat, it still seems like poor stewardship. Rather than some easy cultivated fiber product you have to raise dairy cows and extract milk for a disposable plate. Seems like poor life cycle cost tally

You don’t have to raise cows to have milk, you can literally use the same fiber (Soy, Hemp) to use industrially to make this plastic

Just because it says ‘milk’ doesn’t mean ‘dairy’

It said milk protein, they were specifically talking about dairy milk, and not soy protien

Agreed, very quickly. So we can honestly say this idea aged like milk?

Couldn’t we use some yeast or e-coli instead of cows?

I would hope so, but no dairy alternative has seemed to replicate milk protein properly. But I’m sure there will be q day to replicate it almost exactly as it is.
