Soy fabric is a new and exciting eco-friendly fabric made from a by-product of soybean oil production. It is a sustainable textile fiber made from renewable and biodegradable resources. It is part of an effort to move consumers away from petrochemical textile products and turn waste into useful products. Soy is a sustainable crop which not only cuts pesticide use, but is also the leading substitute for cashmere, helping to diminish China’s overgrazing of goats. Soy fabric is known in some countries as “soysilk” for its soft, lustrous feel.
