Plant-Based PVB Recycled Leather

SKU: EP-2024030201

Category: Sustainable Materials

The Plant-Based PVB Recycled Leather is a next-generation leather alternative engineered from recycled PVB film collected from automotive windshields. Designed as a high-performance, sustainable replacement for traditional leather and foam-based surfaces, it combines refined grain texture, soft hand feel, and excellent durability with significantly reduced environmental impact.

Its flexible structure, smooth drape, and natural matte sheen allow it to be used across furniture upholstery, interior cladding, lifestyle products, and contemporary design applications. The material exceeds 95% bio-based content, emits no irritating odour, and remains safe for households, pets, and sensitive spaces—making it ideal for both commercial and residential environments.

Why It Matters

The Plant-Based PVB Recycled Leather represents a new frontier in sustainable material innovation. By harvesting discarded PVB film from automotive windshields and reprocessing it into a luxurious, functional surface, the material diverts waste from landfills while offering designers a safer, more environmentally responsible alternative to synthetic leather and foam.

Its combination of premium aesthetics, durability, and circular-material benefits aligns directly with MIOLISM’s mission to redefine future-forward, eco-conscious design materials for global interiors and product development.
