How is bio-based leather made?

Bio-based products are becoming more popular because they come from renewable resources and are considered more environmentally friendly than synthetic products made from petrochemical materials. The drive to find alternatives to genuine leather is also driven by the increase in consumer awareness, which accounts for a large part of the market today.

Bio-based leather is made from bio-based materials. Bio-based leather is made from corn starch. Corn starch can be made into non-petroleum-derived propylene glycol, which requires the addition of enzymes and the addition of microorganisms to convert corn starch into propylene glycol, which is then used to make bio-based leather. Rice starch comes from nature, is biodegradable, and does not produce carbon dioxide when it biodegrades. So it can reduce the impact on our environment.

Bio-based leather, also known as plant-based leather, is a material made from plants, such as corn/wheat/pineapple/bamboo/beet/cactus/mushroom/apple/soybean, etc.

Color and texture design

Bio-based leather can be customized according to customer requirements, such as thickness, color, base fabric, texture, surface treatment, feel, and percentage of bio-based content. The higher the percentage of bio-based carbon content, the easier it is to hydrolyze, and the less durable and strong it is. The higher the bio-based carbon content, the physical properties may not meet our requirements.

The pattern design on the leather can be realized by using different leather release papers or by embossing. Leather release paper is a special anti-adhesive paper, and its coating generally has a concave-convex pattern structure. It is widely used in the artificial leather and synthetic leather industry. As a carrier in the production of artificial leather and synthetic leather, artificial leather release paper can copy the pattern embossed on it to artificial leather and synthetic leather.
