Robert Luo is an environmentally aware, three-time entrepreneur. He has sold two of his businesses, and his third is a company called Mi Terro, which began with duffle bags made from corks and plastic from the ocean. The company seeks to change both the fashion industry and the food industry. More recently, the company has started to create and sell t-shirts made from spoiled milk. The milk is turned into protein fiber that replaces plastic, and the fiber is turned into shirts sold online. The beginning of Mi Terro’s new venture in t-shirts was Luo’s visit to his uncle’s dairy farm in China. There was so much spoiled milk because the farm’s buyer had switched to a different farm for supply. Luo’s uncle asked, “is there a way that we can sell this spoiled milk?” and the idea of Mi Terro began to form. Luo’s story seems to be a perfect example of ideas colliding to create a complete idea. Luo was already into sustainable fashion created from waste, and Luo’s visit to his uncle’s farm gave him a new piece of the idea for milk t-shirts, the next venture of Mi Terro. Luo said in an interview, “Leverage the existing connections those that have helped them start a business- either financially, or mentally helped them out. Build connections and be humble. Meet people and be open-minded.” Luo recognizes the importance of networks of ideas, that ideas can come together from various sources and that we can purposefully seek out interpersonal connections to allow these ideas to collide and create a new, whole idea. Luo continues to be innovative and moving on to the “adjacent possible,” the next available innovation: Mi Terro is now beginning to test technology that turns whey protein, a byproduct of cheese and yogurt, into packaging to replace the plastic packaging on products.
