Every Skin we make is called VEGATEX.
Products of VEGATEX. AppleSkin is the bio-based leather alternative made from apple pomace and peel discarded by the beverage industry, such as cider, juice and compote. LemonSkin is made from a by-product from lemonade or lemon juice, replaces dark brown apple pomace and it is suitable for presenting bright colors. BarleySkin is a co-developed product by VEGATEX and Budweiser APAC in 2021, made from a a derivative of brewer’s saved grain.
VEGATEX Skin starts from collecting a huge amount of by-products from the beverage industry. This Plant-based waste is mixed with the water-based polyurethane for forming the surface layer with patented technology, and at the same time, lyocell made by extracting cellulose from wood pulp forms the bottom layer. And then, these two layers are combined by our innovative technology. Afterwards, it is processed through surface texture, color and finishing to become a soft, lively and eco-friendly biobased material.
