Yuantai Leather's recycled suede, thanks to its environmentally friendly "waste-to-treasure" properties, has become a popular product in the industry. This product, manufactured by combining chrome-containing waste with artificial leather and microfiber leather, requires no new raw leather. It boasts wrinkle, cold, fold, and tear resistance, boasting a leather content of up to 70%, with properties approaching those of genuine leather and a highly mercerized suede finish. Some indicators surpass existing split suede, while also increasing utilization by 5% to 20% and offering a 10% to 20% price reduction.
Previously, the leather industry struggled to overcome performance bottlenecks in cold resistance and tear resistance. The emergence of recycled suede has not only expanded Yuantai Leather's market, but also solved the industry's chrome waste disposal challenges, driving technological advancements. Currently, this product has passed GRS Global Recycling Standard certification and has been recognized by several major brands. The company has also partnered with brands like Skechers and Puma, gaining access to their internal procurement platforms.
Recycled suede is considered a future trend in the industry, poised to gradually replace genuine suede. European exhibitions show that the number of brands using and designing suede products is increasing, and the market potential is vast. In the future, Yuantai Leather will focus on innovation and work with global partners to promote the development of the leather industry in a green and creative direction.
