Human hair. Barbers throw the stuff away or it's donated.
What are practical scientific uses for the hair?
Imagine a city where barbers put their hair in a bin which is then sent to be recycled into other materials. What would the most likely products be? Some kind of keratin-plastics?
It's a weird question but surely there's some scientific applications for all this stuff, right? Humans are growing it on their heads for goodness sake, and it cuts right off.
wigs for cancer patients

This makes it perfect for soil admendments for perennials. I'm sure you could probably use it as an amendment in fungiculture. It's would be valuable in so many more ways if agroecology got some r&d

I wear mine on my head. It is the best known treatment for baldness.
Wouldn't work very well. There's no DNA in cut hair, DNA from hair comes from the root.
