Mirum
Plant-based leather that's completely circular
MirumTM is a high-performance plant-based material. An entirely new medium, it depends on renewable resources and natural waste instead of animal hide or oil.
The supple, durable material is created in a circular system that is free of petroleum-based plastics. The hybrid composite material leverages the strength and diversity of virgin and recycled plant matter.
The raw inputs are 100% natural, biodegradable. The finished materials are never coated in polyurethane or PVC.
Mirium is on a mission to dramatically reduce the use of petrochemical-based plastics in the textile industry.
Mirum does not become waste at the end of its life, but is instead a nutrient input. The unique patented processes have allowed to create a material which is completely circular. This means that at the end of life we can disassemble finished products and feed them back into Mirum production.
