 abstract={The current study is aimed at manufacturing milk fabric using casein, a protein derived from the discarded milk. It is a sustainable procedure of converting waste materials into useful textiles. The study is further extended to assess the moisture management properties of prepared casein fabric following test procedure (AATCC-195 (2011). The use of casein fibers offers a promising way of waste reduction and depicts the environmental responsibility of textile manufacturers who seek out innovative and sustainable solutions. The results showed that casein fiber revealed very good moisture transmission behavior and it wicked away the moisture from the skin. This characteristic made the fabric maintain a dry and comfortable environment for the wearer thus making it suitable for various textile applications. The result of this study leads to further investigation of sustainable materials in the textile industry and can pave the path for a wide range of end uses for casein fibers.},
