Celium® BioFabricated Leather
with Polybion

Description

The leather and cattle industry together slaughter more than 1 billion animals per year and are responsible for more than 18% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Not only is animal leather a highly polluting material, but it takes 14,000 litres of water to produce 1 kilogram of usable leather. In the context of water scarcity and climate change, Polybiol addresses these issues by producing Celium® Mango Leather: a sustainable bio-fabricated leather. Offering many consumer applications, Celium® is grown with recombinant bacteria and sugar-rich organic waste. It can be tanned, dyed, embossed, and formed using the same processes as animal leather, allowing the leather industry to conveniently reduce its impact on the environment.
