For people who do not wish to use animal leather, but who nevertheless like the look of leather, the solution becomes vegetable. The young company “Peurce” launches into apple skin bags! This leather-like material, without chemical tanning, and without animal abuse, is ideal for vegans! The raw material, resulting from waste from apple juice, cider or compote factories, is ground, dried and then added to polyurethane, a chemical material, of course, but recyclable at the end of its life. The “textile” thus obtained only has to be worked into leather goods.
The “Apple Skin”, ie the use of all apple waste to convert them into a leather-like textile, is a technique invented and patented in Italy.
