RECYCLED ECO-LEATHER

RECYCLED ECO LEATHER

RECYCLED LEATHER: WHAT IS IT?

Recycled eco-leather is a very long-lasting material, easy to care and a sustainable and quality choice that offers a lot of possibilities. It is a real and sustainable alternative to plastic and other materials coming from petroleum that enjoys a certificate by Global Recycled Standard and Oeko Tex Leather Standard.

IS IT PLASTIC?

No, we hate plastic at Labienhecha! We don't use any petroleum derivative in our production or any PU pr PVC, among others.

Is it animal leather?

Yes, recycled leather comes only and exclusively from the bovine leather that is going to be discard. We give it a second chance.

How do you get it?

Our supplier takes all the bovine leather that is not going to be used anymore and regenerate it to turns it into a new material.

IS IT EASY TO CARE FOR?

It's a very resistant, easy to care and much more hard-wearing material than genuine leather. The rain won't be a problem and it doesn't get scratched easily.

We strongly believe that recycling is the future and it is one of the keys to save our planet. That is why we choose a recycled material like our eco-leather, which, in addition, has the appearance, feel and scent of natural leather. This is due to the fact that theses materials are treated with the same processes as in tanneries and they are produced using the same equipment and methods used with the genuine leather.

In order to manufacture our recycled leather, our local provider uses bovine-type fibers that come from the tanning process. That is to say, when the skins are divided to equal or reduce their thickness. In short, the material comes from the waste that has so far been burned through a highly polluting industrial process. Therefore, we believe that we are making this waste valuable again and turning something so negative of this industry into something positive.

To make the new material, these fibers are combined only with natural latex (never plastic) in an unique eco machinery. As a result, our products get softness, smoothness and the most select leather’s scent.

Oh! We almost forgot it: Our reliable local provider of recycled leather is also MADE IN SPAIN ;)
