Botany: Biomaterial Faux Leather

To complement our natural leather offering, which takes a material that would otherwise go to landfill and upcycles it, Yarwood Leather have introduced a faux leather option which takes a renewable biomaterial and once again transforms it into something which if treated correctly, will create long-lasting designs.

Botany is created by taking wood-based residue biomaterials from the forestry industry (e.g. splinters, pellets, sawdust) and creating a bio-sourced ethylene to create a soft handle faux leather.

This biomaterial is ethically sourced, it does not compete with the food chain and ensures that a biproduct of the forestry industry is used and not wasted. As it is a biproduct of the forestry industry, it is 100% renewable source and is created using 100% non-fossil materials.

This biomaterial still provides a product which has the great properties of faux leathers, durability and flexibility.

The Key Facts:

Made using 100% renewable feedstock

Source does not compete with the food chain

Created using 100% non-fossil materials

Provides greenhouse gas savings of up to 90%
