Sustainable Innovation Starts Here
Our journey to sustainability begins in the picturesque orchards of South Tyrol, Italy, where apples are grown primarily for the food industry. Traditionally, the remnants of these apples—cores and peels—were discarded as waste, destined for landfills. Recognizing the potential for a positive environmental impact, we sought a better solution.
Through a groundbreaking process, these apple remnants are now transformed. They are first dried and then ground into a fine powder. In Italy, this apple powder is ingeniously combined with 100% organic industrial by-products to create a revolutionary material.
Eco-Friendly Material for a Greener Future
Our innovative material is not only plant-based but also robust, waterproof, and a superb substitute for traditional and synthetic leathers. Each kilogram of apple pomace used replaces polyurethane leather (PU), reducing CO2 emissions by 5.28 kg. Furthermore, our process decreases water consumption by 70% compared to traditional leather manufacturing.
Embrace a future where fashion and sustainability go hand in hand. Join us in reducing environmental impact one product at a time.
