Why It Matters
Problem
Fashion brands need to keep up with increasing demand for sustainable practices. This pressure is growing from ESG's who are mandating net-zero transition plans from companies in the near future, as well as end consumers who are becoming more eco-conscious buyers due to the growing awareness of the fashion industry's environmental footprint. Currently the fashion industry emits 10% of annual greenhouse gas emissions—more than all int'l flights and maritime shipping combined. To mitigate increasing climate risk, fashion companies need to source sustainable materials & production processes. Specifically, leather manufacturing contributes to pollution at every step of its development and the only available leather alternatives either contribute to microplastic waste, or greatly sacrifice durability.
Solution
This is not your traditional, leather alternative. Bio-hide utilizes tissue culture bioengineering technology to disrupt, shape and support the future of leather textile production in the fashion industry. Our solution biofabricates real cowhide leather in vitro to meet growing and consumer demand with a significantly lower impact on the environment (lower chemical usage, lowered CO2 emission, and reductions in waste).
