Technologies and manufacturing processes
// WHY GRAPE WASTE IS BETTER THAN ANIMAL SKIN //
The wine industry in Italy produces tons of wine every year, and the wine waste is usually thrown away. The grape waste is mixed with water-based PU and applied to a recycled polyester fabric to create a leather-like material. The use of recycled plastics not only limits the production of new plastics, which are massively destroying our planet, but also frees the earth from waste products and gives them a new life.// 92% LESS CARBON THAN LEATHER //
Our life cycle assessment, created by the certified FAIRLY MADE® solution, shows that our GrapeSkin emits 4.46 kg C02 per m², compared to 61 kg C02 per m² for animal leather. 3 kg of grape waste is contained in one pair of sneakers. As VEGEA does more and more research, they can improve their production. Their latest materials contain 55% grape waste, which means that the other materials have been reduced proportionally.// WHY CORN IS BETTER THAN ANIMAL SKIN //
Non-edible corn has long been used as a biofuel and for other purposes to replace oil-based materials. CornSkin contains 43% polyols derived from corn grown for industrial end use and processed into ethanol and its by-products // PETA vegan approved// Ranked VV in the Animal Free Fashion Rating designed by LAV// 97% LESS CARBON THAN LEATHER //
Our LCA study, conducted by the certified solution FAIRLY MADE®, shows that our CornSkin emits 1.70 kg C02 per m², compared to 61 kg C02 per m² for animal leather.
