The identity of fake duck fur in padding or blankets made in China has been further revealed.

Local media reports said it was made by grinding feathers drawn from discarded badminton balls and used shuttlecocks.

Eastern China's clothing complex, known as the 'World's Clothing Factory'.

Last month, the state-run CCTV accused them of making and selling padding and blankets with fake duck down here.

It's filled with cheap material made from ground feather pods.

A local newspaper that was digging into the identity of the fake duck fur later published additional reports.

He revealed that he collected abandoned shuttlecocks in badminton stadiums, bought them secondhand, and used them as materials.

The price of feathers extracted from used shuttlecocks is only 8,000 won per kg, enough to make five padded coats.

It looks real on the outside, but it's less thermal and you can breathe in fine adhesives that are ground together.

Shuttlecock recycling has become an open secret for the industry in recent years, when fluffy prices for ducks and geese have soared.

In August, goose down prices soared to $120 per kg, higher than during the 2013 bird flu wave.

This is due to a decrease in duck and goose meat consumption in China, which accounts for 80% of the world's padding production, resulting in a decrease in the supply of hair, a byproduct.

Chinese padding or duck down blankets, which are exported a lot to Korea, and if they are too cheap, you have to doubt them first.
