PEELSPHERE
Fruit waste and algae materials!
How does it work?
PEELSPHERE® is a truly circular material made from fruit waste and algae through advanced material engineering. It is created by redefining fruit waste, reducing carbon footprint and designing for circularity. As an ideal alternative to leather and synthetic leather, PEELSPHERE® is beautiful, durable, versatile and biodegradable.
Why is it needed?
PEELSPHERE® is a bio-innovated material born at the intersectionality of design, material science and sustainability, with a mission to inspire a sustainable, healthy and balanced lifestyle through its quality and beauty.
How does it improve life?
"Fast fashion vs sustainable fashion are two consumer and lifestyle choices that have polarised the industry of late and created a blame culture of sorts. Regardless of whether they can co-exist, the need to be more responsible and caring towards the environment is clear. Small steps starting with more responsible material choices at the start of the creative process is certainly a way forward." (Fashion Insiders & Co).
