LOVR™
Composition & Sourcing
What is LOVR™ made of?
LOVR™ from our latest industrial production run is a single-layer material made from 60% hemp fibres combined with natural additives such as waxes, pigments and bio-based glues. It contains no synthetic binders. The composition of the next LOVR™ generation differs: it is a plant-based material, 100% bio-based (tested by an independent laboratory), also without synthetic binders.
Where is the hemp used in LOVR™ sourced from?
The hemp fibres in our latest production run are sourced in Europe from traceable agricultural residue streams, by-products of industrial hemp cultivation primarily grown for seeds.
Does LOVR™ contain petrol-based additives?
No. LOVR™ consists of bio-based components and natural additives.
Performance & Technical Specs
What finishing options are available?
Material from our latest production comes with one lightly sanded side for a soft, suede-like feel and one untreated side. Other finishes are currently not available.
What are the technical test results for LOVR™?
LOVR™ has been tested under standardised conditions based on the latest industrial production run. The testing covered key material properties such as thickness, area weight, abrasion resistance, flex resistance, colour fastness to rubbing, water vapour permeability, tensile strength and elongation at break. Full test results and documentation are available upon request.
What thickness options are available?
Thickness typically ranges from 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm depending on application and customisation.
Can LOVR™ be shaped or customized?
Yes. LOVR™ can be 3D formed, cut, embossed and perforated, allowing for significant design versatility. It is available in a standard width of 1.40 metres on rolls of any length. Custom cutting and confection are available.
How flexible is LOVR™?
LOVR™ offers moderate flexibility due to its dense fibre structure, making it well suited to structured applications. Improved flexibility achieved in the lab in 2026 is scheduled for validation at industrial scale.
Can LOVR™ be glued?
Yes, LOVR™ can be bonded using adhesives, including bio-based options such as Caremelt®.
What is the maximum heat resistance for LOVR™
LOVR™ withstands temperatures up to 130°C for short processing periods of up to 3 minutes, making it compatible with standard industrial finishing workflows.
How does LOVR™ age?
LOVR™ develops a natural patina over time while maintaining its structural integrity. It only breaks down under active composting conditions with heat, moisture and microbial activity, not during normal product use.
Can LOVR™ be colored?
LOVR™ naturally presents in earthy tones including browns and greys. It can be coloured using natural pigments, working best for subtle and muted finishes.
Materials & Certifications
Is LOVR™ patented?
A patent for the LOVR™ production process and material was filed in Germany in 2021 and subsequently in the EU and internationally via PCT in the USA, Canada, China, India, Japan, South Korea and Vietnam. The patent is currently pending.
Is LOVR™ designed for recyclability?
Material from our latest production run is designed for recyclability: it is single-layer, so it can be defibred and made into new LOVR™. There is no take-back system in place yet.
Is LOVR™ certified?
The next LOVR™ generation is 100% bio-based (tested by an independent laboratory). A certification is in preparation.
Has a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) been conducted?
Yes, for an earlier version of LOVR™. Based on data from industrial-scale production runs, its carbon footprint was 2.54 kg CO₂e/m² (cradle-to-gate, scope: Global Warming Potential). Key drivers were ingredient composition and energy consumption during production. An updated assessment for the next LOVR™ generation is in preparation.
Is LOVR™ biodegradable?
In a practical trial in green waste compost at the Botanical Garden Darmstadt, an earlier version of LOVR™ with comparable composition fully broke down within 320 days (approx. 40–60 °C, 40–60 % moisture, active microorganisms). The trial was not conducted according to EN 13432.
Applications
What industries can benefit from LOVR™?
LOVR™ has been tested and applied across fashion and accessories, footwear, interior and furniture design, and automotive interiors. It has passed prototyping and pilot-stage gates in all four categories.
Is LOVR™ suitable for automotive interiors?
Yes. LOVR™ is actively being piloted for automotive interior applications in collaboration with Volkswagen and Motherson Innovations. The joint project received the Plug and Play Global Innovation Award for Sustainability at expo2025.
