Starting with leather
The problem
Leather holds a significant position in the fashion and luxury goods industry. However, traditional animal-based leather production is not only environmentally damaging but also ethically unsustainable. The industry's reliance on 430 million cow hides annually contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, water and air pollution. It's time for change
Our solution
Mycelia inspired us to develop biopolymer-composite materials that are sustainable, ethical, and a versatile alternative to animal-based leather. By capitalising on the simplicity and utility of biopolymers combined with a novel production system, Sapro-Tech has created functional and scalable production textiles that will out compete animal leather on price
Your future
Our textiles mirror the look, feel, and performance of animal-based leather while upholding sustainability and ethical values. Through our groundbreaking growing techniques, we offer complete customisation, allowing the textiles to adapt precisely to the needs of your consumers
