With our new material, we're moving towards a greener future with Leap® - redefining materials with upcycled apple waste.
From leftover cider and juice production to an upcycled high value material, our next-gen material humbly contributes to making a difference while addressing the mounting amounts of apple pulp generated each year.
With the increasing demand for cider and juice, the accumulation of apple pulp has become an environmental concern. However, through our innovative process, we transform this pulp into a sustainable material known as Leap®.
Utilizing energy-efficient production methods, we have managed to streamline the creation of Leap® to just 1 day, reducing water consumption by a remarkable 99% and cutting CO2 emissions by approximately 85%* compared to traditional leather production. Moreover, our material production completely avoids the use of harmful substances, reflecting our commitment to responsible and eco-friendly practices.
