RE LEAT
Green idea, brilliant solution: innovative leather recycling
With our Re-Leat project, we focus on innovative solutions for leather recycling. Leather processing waste is reintegrated into the production cycle and transformed into a new, high-quality material, without the addition of foreign fibers.
This creates a resource-efficient alternative that reduces environmental impact while opening up new design possibilities for creative applications. Re-Leat combines sustainability, innovation, and quality – a step toward a circular economy in the leather industry.

FAQ
Re-Leat is our recycled leather paper based on leather fibers and binder systems. We reintegrate waste products from leather processing into the production cycle, transforming them into a new material without adding foreign fibers. Re-Leat is suitable for applications in interior design and furniture, fashion, mats, mousepads, bags, shoe applications, book covers, and accessories.
Re-Leat is designed for resource conservation and waste reduction. By recycling residual materials from leather processing, less material is disposed of, and existing raw materials are effectively repurposed. This makes Re-Leat a material-efficient alternative for applications where sustainability and functional processing are to be combined.
Re-Leat consists of leather fibers and binder systems. The material approach is designed to transform residual materials from leather processing into a new, high-quality sheet material. The fact that no foreign fibers are added is particularly interesting for applications where the leather-based character of the material should be preserved.
Yes. Re-Leat features an abrasion- and scuff-resistant surface. This is particularly relevant for applications where the material is regularly touched, moved, or mechanically stressed, such as coasters, bags, accessories, or interior applications.
Re-Leat is available in rolls or sheets. The material covers a range from 240 to 1,900 g/m² with a thickness of 0.25 to 2.00 mm and has a density of 0.95 g/cm³. This allows you to choose Re-Leat depending on your requirements—either for thinner, flexible applications or for thicker, more stable material constructions.
Re-Leat is suitable for designers and manufacturers who want to combine sustainable materials with high design standards. Typical applications include furniture and interior uses, fashion products, desk pads, mouse pads, bags, shoe applications, book covers, and other accessories. This makes the material attractive for both functional and design-driven applications.
Re-Leat is a more cost-effective alternative for applications where a leather-based material with a recycling approach is required. It combines the core idea of reuse with versatile applications in design, interiors, and product development. Especially where sustainability, material character, and cost-effectiveness are considered together, Re-Leat can be a sensible solution.
