Bamboo is one of the quickest growing plants on the planet, so when harvested a new plant is quickly established. It’s an ideal plant to be utilised in bio leather manufacturing due to it’s sustainable qualities, low carbon footprint and biodegradable properties, which break down and reintegrate with nature without causing any harm to the planet, making it an ideal material for ‘vegan’ animal-free leather.

The bamboo plants are harvested and broken down into chips which create a natural pulp which are then processed into fibres and then spun into yarn, creating a very soft and smooth woven textile. This is mixed with natural cellulose to create a plant-based bio leather, and is finished with different grain and texture options, depending on it’s final use.

Bamboo plant bio-leather is an ideal ‘vegan’ alternative leather which can be printed or embossed. It’s soft to the touch with a leathery feel and is durable and long lasting. It’s scratch resistant, water resistant, stain resistant, lightweight, and is ideal for products which are normally made from animal skins and comes in a range of finishes, colours and thicknesses to suit many applications.

Eco-friendly with a low environmental impact, bamboo bio leather is manufactured using eco-conscious, non-toxic processes, which reduce the carbon footprint by 33% compared to normal PU or animal leathers. Bamboo ‘vegan leather’ is 75% plant based and weighs 30% less than animal leather, which makes this a preferred product for designers and manufacturers responsible for major fashion and accessory brands requiring a vegan and non-animal related material.
