Two Men Created
“Leather” From Cactus
Leather is one among the foremost traded products within the world. we've got a discussion that leather is a component of the booming $80 billion industry. However, its harsh use of chemical and animal products has made leather problematic not just for animal rights activists but also for environmentalists. Fortunately, two entrepreneurs from Mexico have worked to seek out a leather alternative that's not only environmentally friendly but has the design and feel of genuine leather.
Adrian LaPage Velard and Marte Carrez have devised a way to rework cactus into vegan leather that's so realistic to seem at and it can replace animal leather alright. it had been made up of this xerophyte which is extremely difficult to guess. However, its brand name is cactus vegan leather Desserto. a first-of-its-kind organic leather made entirely from nopal or prickly-pear cactus. Cactus is understood to be rugged, hard, thick, and pointy which makes it the right texture to simulate animal leather.
LEATHER PROCESS FROM CACTUS
Mature leaves are cut from organically grown cactus trees, cleaned, crushed, and left to dry within the sun for 3 days before processing. It can then be dyed using natural methods. It makes vegan leather certified organic and may withstand regular use for nearly a decade. Hazardous chemicals are required to tanning animal’s leather whereas vegan leather isn’t.
When fully processed, it seems like genuine leather with soft, durable, resilient, and high enough quality. Vegan leather is flexible so any shape are often performed. The finished product is very sustainable with a lower carbon footprint than other leather alternatives and it are often wont to make apparel clothing (jackets, shoes, bags, and wallets), accessories, furniture, and even car interiors.
Adrian Lopez Velarde and Marte Cazarez currently cultivated have 2 hectares nopals, also as an expansion capacity of 40 hectares. Regarding production capacity, we've 500,000 linear meters a month.”
