backed by
climate science

Because it diverts plastic from landfills and gives it a purposeful new life.

This might just be our favorite part. Here’s what makes Technik-Leather so unique:

  1. We use a proprietary additive that makes the material biodegradable in a landfill. Microorganisms find it utterly delicious.
  2. Our plant-based topcoat helps the material last—plus resist stains, scratches and water.
  3. This microfiber layer is made of recycled plastic water bottles. It mimics the feel of animal leather but causes zero harm.

Creating durable, long-lasting materials from plants moves us away from fossil fuels. Utilizing abundant waste materials like plastic water bottles helps solve the plastic trash issue while our biodegradation technology ensure that microplastics are not formed.
