Most fruits inevitably suffer from some blemishes, such as scratched skin, bruises or unappealing appearance caused during the process of production, storage and transportation. This affected produce can easily go rotten, and is therefore often disposed of as food waste.
To help achieve the targets of environmental carbon neutrality and reduce food waste, the defective or substandard fruit can be used to make 100 percent bio-based eco-friendly leather. The affected fruits are used as a nutrient source, and mixed with mushroom mycelium. After a series of cultivation and fermentation processes, eco-friendly leather is produced.
In keeping with the green theme, clean energy is used throughout the production process of "fruit to leather", and a unique bacterial and algal system is used to achieve the goal of producing zero carbon emissions.
Bio-based leather is not only environmentally sustainable, but also has excellent durability, which reduces the killing of animals. This has achieved new breakthroughs in the field of sustainable development and environmental protection.
