Spinnova and KT Trading have succeeded in developing a natural leather fabric made from leather waste without harmful chemicals
Finnish sustainable fibre producer Spinnova has partnered with KT Trading, the primary leather partner and supplier to global shoe brand Ecco, to develop a new circular textile made from leather waste, without harmful chemicals.
Possessing the natural durability of leather and the lightweight and feel of a traditional textile, the material introduces a new category of sustainable and circular textiles that can set new standards for the industry when pilot-scale production starts at the end of 2021, the firms say.
Together with KT Trading, Spinnova has established a new joint venture, Respin. The partners are already constructing a leather fibre production pilot plant in Finland.
