Lasting Leather Lab: from waste to circular products with ecological impact

Thirty thousand hides a day all from the meat industry and destined for use in the car industry. With as much as forty percent waste, originating from the leather trimming plants. Lasting Leather Lab looks for ways to transform this waste flow into circular products, with an ecological impact. Lasting Leather LAB is initiated by Simone de Waart, Creative Director of Material Sense, to challenge a team of designers and experts to turn the left over material via materials research into viable new product ideas.
