BIOLEATH – Bio-fabricated leather (Vegan Leather)
Humane & sustainable BIOFABRICATED LEATHER with enhanced material performance.
The global multibillion-dollar leather industry slaughters more than a billion animals for their skins and hides every year. One metric ton of this raw material yields only 20 percent as finished leather product and releases more than 60 percent as solid and liquid waste, containing hazardous chemicals like chromium salts, formaldehyde, arsenic, and cyanide-based dyes. Synthetic leather on the other hand, is made from synthetic, petroleum-based polymers like polyurethane (PU) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which take thousands of years to biodegrade and create health hazards when bio-accumulated. The global threat of climate change, environmental pollution, and the inhumane nature of commercial livestock industry motivated us towards the mission of creating leather alternatives that are not only chic but also not compromising with environment and the life on earth!
- Innovative manufacturing process.
- Biofabrication of a microbial cellulose-collagen composite as a sustainable alternative to animal- based leather.
- Affordable, and eco-Friendly.
- Completely biodegradable and cruelty-free.
- Reduced carbon footprint.
- Customizable material properties.
At BIOPLANTIC we produce BIOLEATH, which is a humane & sustainable BIOFABRICATED LEATHER made of cellulose composites, with enhanced material performance. Properties of BIOLEATH are optimized at the level of molecular structure, to ensure high standards of performance.
