Yes, it’s true. Biodegradable socks made from corn-derived fiber are due to hit Japanese stores sometime next year as well as a line of hats and scarves made from kernels of maize.
Do you think this idea will spread to other Countries?
Hahahaha. I doubt this idea, like many of those of the Japanese, will spread to many other countries.
Very werid Indeed.
I doubt it will. The way Japan sees things is very different than everyone else. What they would consider a cool and wild looking cell phone, I would consider ugly and stupid. But then again, Pokemon made its way over here 😉
I’d rather my socks last forever than biodegrade…I doubt that this will even last long in Japan. :p
Well, I have a comforter filled with corn fluff (rather than down…because I’m allergic to feathers) and it is the warmest darn thing. Still has not rotted away on us and we’ve had it about two or three years. Think about it too…most socks are cotton or silk…they are both biodegradable. 🙂
