    Once the hair absorbs 5x its weight in oil, what do you do with it?

      ​@@matteroftrust It's not economically viable, and it's not fixing a problem. There's extreme amounts of labor and energy involved in collecting human hair to do this. Just use cotton, or polyester, or rayon. Less cost means less labor and energy (literally less energy) to produce it. I absolutely GUARANTEE this is being subsidized by some government program. It SEEMS like a good idea, but it's not, which is why it needs government subsidies.

      hair is donated easily without much work involved , hair is used because its free recyclable and absorbs oil

      @@matteroftrust It's not a problem of donating or even transporting the hair. Of course, that's easy. It's the amount of just raw energy in transporting hair ALL over the place to consolidate it to get an meaningful amount of it.
