Animal leather and related products are among the most widely traded products in the world. International trade exceeds $80 billion per year, and should continue to grow along with the population and urbanization figures of emerging countries. Leather production is linked to serious sustainability and environmental issues, especially as a by-product of the meat industry. Animal leather properties are by nature extremely variable since they depend on the animal itself, its origin, breed, diet and even the location on the animal's body. This dependence makes it very difficult to produce large quantities of animal leather with unique and uniform properties. This lack of uniformity also characterizes vegetable-based vegan leathers, hence the difficulties of using them on a large scale. Currently, several eco-responsible innovations are beginning to emerge within the industrial subsidiary of leather-related applications. Despite the progress made, there is no product that can replace animal leather, especially high-performance applications such as protective clothing: gloves for firefighters, for example. As part of the Federal Strategy for Sustainable Development, Flaura cuir végétal with the CTT Group have developed an innovative composition to manufacture a new product generation of 100% bio-sourced protective material (eco-leather) based on apple pomace, a starch-based elastomeric bioplastic (biodegradable and compostable) and natural additives. The formulation was adapted for extrusion, a common process, which allows the production of a uniform membrane (laminated on textiles) in a single step. This original, natural and uniform product is capable of addressing industry’s demanding performance requirements (flexibility, breathability, protection). The product developed was characterized in comparison with alternative through various tests such as : Water resistance (Hydrostatic pressure test: AATCC Test Method 127-2018), Water Vapor Transmission (ASTM E96/E96M-05-Procedure BW), Water resistance-High Penetration test- After Cold flex CAN/CGSB – 4.2 No. 26.5-M89 (2013) and Abrasion resistance (ASTM D3884-09 (2017)). The technology is patented worldwide.
