Silkworm production not so "sustainable' for humans

A silk farm will use up to 1,000 metric tons of water to produce one metric ton of silk, mostly to soften the cocoons for reeling the silk.

Silk production is also very energy and water-intensive. Boiling the water to cook the cocoons takes enormous amounts of energy and water.

Temperature control in silkworm rearing facilities, transportation, dying and processing are other steps in the production process that require large amounts of energy.

Oh,well.
