The idea of using animal leather seems pretty outdated when we have the technology to create materials that look just like leather, function better than leather, and have dramatically lower carbon footprints. #plantbased #Sustainable #recycled

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.

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.

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.
