We did it! The vH Team has worked tirelessly to achieve a 100% plant-based, petroleum-free, durable material and we're launching it TODAY.
Introducing Liquidplant, an invention that will eliminate plastic and allow for radically new materials.

Thanks to
@Reuters
for bringing low-carbon, plant-based materials to light. The customer is ready. Plant-based is the future if we're serious about fighting global warming.
Thank you for supporting the bold notion that we can use science to reinvent leather. Because of you, we were able to collectively give over $100,000 back this year to charities that help people, animals, and the planet.
Get on the waitlist for our upcoming launch. We've developed something innovative, something special, something that will make a difference to the planet. Trust us—you’ll want to know about this.
We're excited to launch 2 new products at Apple today! The MacBook Sleeve & The Watch Band Pouch are great holiday gifts AND they're made from recycled plastic. Now there are 6 von Holzhausen styles to choose from at Apple. (not like we're counting). …
The idea of using animal leather seems pretty outdated when we have the technology to create materials that look just like leather, function better than leather, and have dramatically lower carbon footprints.

We have big news for material innovation this week!
After years of work, we've created a radically new technology that will usher in a new era of petroleum-free materials.
#plantbased
Banbū Leather (and our other alternative materials) will be coming to more vehicles soon at MUCH lower price-points.
This is a custom, one of a kind interior, hence the price.
We've been improving on our Banbū Leather for almost 3 years, making it 83% plant-based and biodegradable in a landfill.
On Earth Day, we're launching a new product with this material and it rhymes with bamboo. Can you guess what it is?

You are a material innovator. You are! Take a moment to appreciate yourself. Now imagine what we can all do next.
Thank you and Happy Earth Day 🌍 Join us and learn more -->
WIN OUR MATERIAL INNOVATOR AWARDS 🏆 This isn't just a t-shirt.... it's a face mask, a headband.... a whatever you want it to be. Have you recently turned something into something else? Then you are a material innovator (and a great one!).

The Backpack by the numbers via Franz von Holzhausen. It's durable: 652 days of consecutive use. It's sustainable: 100% vegan and animal-free. And it's functional: 2 compartments + 2 side pockets to safely store your tech products. Now available to shop:
We have exciting news coming in 2023 about a 100% plant-based, industry-defining innovation that we've been working on for the past few years. Stay tuned!
What does sustainability really mean? Clearly, it's about achieving a low carbon footprint, but what about landfill diversion ♻️ low petroleum content?🌱and even traceability to verify claims?
Thanks to

and The Peterson Automotive Museum for helping to raise $120,570 for the museum. We're honored to have been a part of the effort.
Our materials are now available: Banbu Leather = plant based, Technik-Leather = recycled plastic, Struktur Leather = extreme performance. All using advanced biodegradation technology.
Our team of scientists has been hard at work in our Innovation Lab creating Liquidplant, our ultra thin protective topcoat made with 100% plants.

We couldn't be more excited about the year ahead! Our team has developed ground-breaking chemistries that dramatically reduce our reliance on petroleum and we can't wait to share the news.
For now, we're celebrating what we achieved in 2022:
Managing the end of life for our products is key: The biodegradation technology within all of our materials helps them biodegrade in an aerobic condition (landfill or ocean) ensuring they don't stick around for 500 years like traditional vegan leather.
#sustainability
Not only do we innovate plant-based materials that replace leather and plastic for other companies, we use them for our own collection.
Our Tech Backpack made with Replant, a performance fabric created from agricultural waste, drops tomorrow.
The von Holzhausen team and I are thrilled to announce our collaboration with Nanollose Ltd (ASX:NC6) combining our expertise in creating next-gen vegan leather with their innovative bacterial cellulose technology.

An Inside Look: Having a safe set for our team is our number one priority. Here’s a sneak peek into our latest shoot with Franz von Holzhausen. The Collection is available to shop here:
Plastic top coats are the secret agents of the material world. They're hiding on everyday products like your food packaging, shoes, and car seat. Sometimes, it feels like the whole world is covered in a plastic top coat.
Happy New Year! Let's fix the problems caused by outdated systems. Our focus this year is to lessen our reliance on petrochemicals through new plant-based and bio-based formulations in all of our materials.
Excited about the traction Struktur Leather has gotten due to its automotive-level specs, environmental approach, and sleek feel.

We Have big news! Our Banbū Leather biodegrades 100% in less that 250 days (in a landfill) as opposed to PU, which typically takes hundreds of years to biodegrade.
Verified by test method ASTM D5511

Sending swatches of our upcoming materials 🌱♻️to one of our clients. We're happy to see more and more large companies searching for ethical and sustainable alternatives. And happy we're able to answer the call....

What’s your New Years resolution? Why not consider using less animal products? Livestock production is the single largest contributor of greenhouse gas emissions, more than trains, planes, and cars combined. Shocker.
Introducing REPLANT, our latest material innovation. An ultra-premium, performance material revolutionizing the way we think about agricultural waste.
Our Farm to Fabric approach means there's complete traceability.
Liquidplant is designed using biomimicry which means its basic molecular structure replicates the structure of skin so it's not only tough, it actually heals itself like real skin.

Sustainability and material innovation is at the core of what we stand for. We decided to sit down with Franz von Holzahusen to unpack what this means for him and across industries. Read more:
Stay tuned, we're about to launch a new plant-based topcoat for our core materials. Lowering petroleum content is key to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
