Appelleer
Our bags and covers collection includes a number of products with apple leather. Yes, you read that right! Leather made from apples. Time to learn a bit more about this material.
For this collection of bags and covers we have chosen the brand Made Out Of. They produce in a sustainable way and with a positive impact on people and nature. They do this by producing locally and with only sustainable materials from Europe. Including appelleer!
The leathery material is made from the remains of apples from the juice industry in Italy. To make 1 liter of juice, 1.4 KG of apples are needed. The peel, the core and the dried pulp is what remains after pressing.
By recovering this “waste”, grinding it and then processing it into apple leather, they not only reduce waste management costs but also damage to the environment. In addition, this natural waste is also used to replace other raw materials of chemical origin in production, reducing emissions and energy consumption throughout the production chain. In this way, apple waste replaces up to 50% of what was previously fossil.
In addition to the material being made from waste, being vegan and being produced in Europe, the developer is working daily to increase the impact of the material and make it 100% circular in the future. This allows us to help build an even better and more sustainable alternative.
Features:
- Vegan - PETA approved material
- Made in Italy
- USDA Certified Product - 31% Biobased
- The PU layer consists of 41% apple residues and 59% PU
In short, a great material! Check out our new collection and products with apple leather.
