beLEAF™ has a 100% organic tanning process, without heavy metals. The main tanning agent is vegetable oil. An organic and sustainable process. The solid waste turns into compost and compost-rich water is used directly for irrigation. This guarantee a safe and friendly process for the environment and our professionals. beLEAF™ technology is an organic process applied to the “Elephant Ear” plant leaf to create a vegan material alternative to leather, an unprecedented product able to appear right next to the most beautiful leathers and ecological fabrics.
The material has characteristics very similar to leather, with a notable difference that the CO2 emission of its manufacturing process is compensated by the carbon absorption of planting and leaf growth.beLEAF™is one of the most sustainableoptions available today.
Unlike most other leather alternative products of vegetable origin, beLEAF™ is the leaf itself. It is not created by mixing fibers and polymers, which maintains the beauty of the real leaf look, its texture, and its natural shape.
BREATHABILITY: beLEAF™ is the evolution of sustainable materials. 100% leaf product, beLEAF™ breathability is unmatchable by any material in the market. Due to its natural characteristics, avoid extreme humidity and direct sun exposure.
LIGHT FASTNESS/RESISTANCE: Significant sun exposure or strong light bulbs can cause color fading and/or localized staining, due to its organic process and dyeing with biodegradable organic inputs.
