Don’t cry over spilt milk, make loo roll out of it

17 Nov 2016  |  the Guardian
Qmilk, a German fabric innovator, has partnered with Italian company Lucart to produce a premium toilet roll made from waste milk, named Carezza di Latte, set to be available in Italian supermarkets. The product is hypoallergenic and suitable for people with allergies, including lactose intolerance. Qmilk's founder, Anke Domaske, developed the technology to create fibres from soured milk protein, repurposing waste milk that cannot be sold, such as from sick cows or those treated with antibiotics. Qmilk uses 1,000 tonnes of waste milk annually from local farms and pays farmers for this otherwise discarded product. While the initiative is seen as a positive step in waste management, Andrew Walters of PDR's Ecodesign Group cautions that increased demand could potentially lead to more milk production directed towards non-food uses, which may not be environmentally beneficial compared to well-managed forests.

Drug dealers using Instagram and Tinder to find young customers

07 Apr 2016  |  the Guardian
Drug dealers are exploiting social media platforms and apps like Instagram, Tinder, Kik, and Depop to sell drugs to young people. They use hashtagging on Instagram and profile swiping on Tinder to connect with potential customers, who can then purchase drugs online using encrypted or traceable payment methods. Despite the risks involved, the internet is popular among teens without drug connections. Some young people in the LGBTQ community also purchase hormones online for gender transitioning. Social media platforms and law enforcement rely on user reporting to combat this issue, but the challenge remains significant. The National Police Chiefs’ Council acknowledges the need to adapt to the digital drug trade, and the UK government is working with internet providers to address the unlawful sale of drugs online.
