They say that you should make lemonade when life gives you a lemon. We at Veganologie believe that when life gives us leftovers, we should create something unique. That's exactly what we're doing! Veganologie is proud to introduce Apple Skin to its collection! Apple leather, also known as Apple Skin, is made using left over pomace and peel from the fruit juice and compote industry. When apples are juiced, there are solid leftovers, known as apple pomace. The pomace has a high cellulose content and is ideal for upcycling into new fabrics.
Love Mother Earth, and she’ll love you back!

HOW IS APPLE LEATHER MADE?
Once the apple waste has been recovered, it is reduced into a powder. Once processed into a powder, it's combined with polyurethane and coated onto cotton and canvas. The apple leather used in our products is made using 50% apple waste mixed with 40% PU. This combination results in a durable yet soft fabric, which is perfect for our accessories.
Veganologie works hard to maintain sustainability at the core of each design. Using Apple Skin in our materials is an additional step to ensure we can give you high-quality products while maintaining sustainability transparency. To ensure that the Apple Skin is exactly what we're saying, the materials have been certified by the GRS, PeTA, USDA and ISO.
HOW SUSTAINABLE IS APPLE SKIN?
One of the key aspects of using AppleSkin is that it's completely renewable and completely biodegradable. As a result, this reduces the level of CO2 impacting our planet significantly, along with lowering the impact of global warming. Apart from its positive impact on the planet, the durability and strength of the fabric increase the longevity of the product is used for.

While there are a growing number of vegan leathers available in the market, PU (polyurethane) leather continues to stay strong and has a good reputation for being the most sustainable too. While most vegan leathers are made from PVC, PU is less harmful for the environment as it’s less chemical heavy. Moreover, PU doesn’t contribute to the change of PH levels in soil. PU account for less than 2% waste seen in the oceans worldwide.
Our PU leather is high quality leather and is free of dimethyl formaldehyde (DMF), a substance that can be harmful to workers if absorbed by the skin.

rPET is essentially recycled plastic. Plastic items are often used once and discarded into non-recycled rubbish, piling up on farms and lands. Following the recycle and upcycle process, rPET is a durable product that can be re-moulded and re-shaped into new products, just like we’ve done for our bags.Using rPET drastically reduces carbon footprint by removing the need to use energy to extract and create new raw plastic material. The process of sorting, washing, and flaking post-consumer PET to make new rPET requires drastically less energy (75% less) than creating raw plastic.

The bamboo found in these fabrics are collected from waste in the mountains of Guilin, Guangxi and Ji’an, and Jiangxi in China.The process of producing Bamboo Fiber is quite long as it requires process of steaming bamboo slices, crushing and decomposing them into yarn and then combining it with bio-based biodegradable resin.
