isn't everyone curious and does anyone have any data on what is being done about that poisoning of the silkmakers as a failure point?
I worry about lack of disclosure about the monitoring of contaminants. there being contaminants in material used for say fibers reinforcing tires or shoe soles is unlikely to be a problem. more risk of spreading contaminants to where harm is done might come from say using as a brake pad or a personal protective wearable.
I just hope the soil was tested on the land KBLB expected to utilize in Vietnam:
Kraig labs has also taken steps to ensure that feedstock will not disrupt its future winter production cycle, by utilizing land set aside from the government to immediately plant an additional 40 acres of mulberry trees. This increased capacity and continuous supply of high quality mulberry is an important component of the Company’s production operations. This expansion of lands available to the Company and its work with the local farming cooperatives will allow for tighter control and ensure that this key input in readily available and of the highest quality.
