Our Innovation
Meet Uppeal
Uppeal (formerly AppleSkin) is a revolutionary sustainable leather substitute that forms the foundation of our products.
Uppeal is a byproduct of the apple juice industry, which would otherwise go to waste. Through biological upcycling, we transform apple pomace into a beautiful, durable material that rivals traditional leather.
This innovative approach allows us to create premium equestrian products while significantly reducing environmental impact and supporting circular economy principles.
Uppeal™
From Apple to Equestrian
Why Uppeal
Four Main Advantages
Sustainability
Waste reduction via circular economy. By using byproducts from the apple juice industry, we transform what would otherwise be waste into beautiful, durable materials.
Plant-Based & Cruelty-Free
100% plant-based materials with no animal harm. Our Uppeal material provides the look and feel of leather without any animal products.
Durability
Resilient materials designed for equestrian activities. Built to withstand the demands of daily riding while maintaining their beautiful appearance.
Breathability
Natural air circulation preventing discomfort. The unique structure of Uppeal allows for excellent breathability, keeping your horse comfortable.
Our Process
Sustainable Production
No Tanning Process
Unlike traditional leather, our materials require no tanning. This minimizes chemical use and conserves water significantly.
Artisan Handcraftsmanship
Each product is carefully crafted by skilled artisans who take pride in creating high-quality, sustainable equestrian equipment.
Bio-Compostable Packaging
Our commitment to sustainability extends to our packaging. We use bio-compostable materials to minimize environmental impact.
Certified Partners
We collaborate with environmentally-conscious partners who maintain ISO:9001 and ISO:14001 certifications.
Packaging Innovation
Seed Paper Tags
Our product tags are made from seed paper — plantable paper embedded with wildflower seeds.
After removing the tag from your new Equinetree product, simply plant it in soil, water it, and watch wildflowers grow. It's our small way of giving back to nature with every purchase.
