NEXTILE challenges students to create soy textiles

U.S. Soy’s new textile design challenge is awarding college students for creating innovative multifunctional fabric using soy-based products.

United Soybean Board director and Michigan soybean farmer Carla Schultz served as a judge this year.

“It’s been incredible to see how those soybeans come to life in the creative hands of these students, and I think there’s a future ahead for soy products that not only these students made, but that we haven’t even seen yet,” she says.
