Looking ahead: Not a new product but a smarter alternative
We don’t need to reinvent leather – we need to evolve it in a smart way. BD-Tan™ is proof that leather can be smart, durable, beautiful and perform in all kinds of products.
In a world constantly searching for better materials, perhaps it’s time to recognise the value of what we already have: a 100% bio-based, biodegradable, long-lasting, and now compostable thanks to BD-Tan ™.
Contributing and giving value to a material that has served humanity for centuries.
What if TODAY someone found a way to upcycle discarded hides into a bio-based, long-lasting, low-impact material, reducing waste, our C02 footprint and replacing plastic
Would that be a breakthrough?
Maybe even an award-winning technology?
That is what Leather is. It exists and it’s what we do.
Let’s build a better leather future together
Joint the movement of transparency, circularity, and responsible sourcing
