APPLE LEATHER

Apple leather, also known as AppleSkin, is a bio-based material made using the leftover pomace and peel from the fruit juice and compote industry.

Apple leather is a vegan leather with innovative and environmentally friendly substitute for animal leather.

Using the waste of apples used in the juice and applesauce industry, it is able to produce a very innovative and unusual type of leather.

By using waste, we not only have to plant or harvest apples for our crops, but also create an opportunity for farmers to generate a second income from their waste,

thereby protecting ecosystems and increasing sustainability.

CORK LEATHER

Cork is composed of dead cells that accumulate on the outer surface of the cork oak tree (Quercus Suber) that mostly grows on the southwest Europe and northwest Africa regions,

being the majoraty here in Portugal (34% of the world cork forests)

Harvesting cork it’s an ancient method that can only be done by experts. This process not only doesn’t harm the tree, it’s actually good for them.

Stripping a cork oak of its bark also enhances the ability to absorb carbon dioxide; the seven million acres of cork forest around the Mediterranean offset 20 million tons of CO2 each year.
