Traditional leather:

A resource-heavy material with lasting impacts.

Animal Suffering
Leather production relies on the exploitation and inhumane treatment of animals.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Livestock methane and CO₂ from processing make leather a major greenhouse gas contributor.

Deforestation and Land Use
Forests are cleared for cattle grazing, driving biodiversity loss and habitat destruction.

Water Consumption
Tanning and processing consume vast amounts of water, leading to local scarcity and pollution.

Toxic Chemicals
Hazardous substances like chromium used in tanning harm ecosystems and communities.

Artificial leather:

Crude Oil
Artificial leather relies heavily on non-renewable resources such as oil and gas.

Chemical-Intensive Process
Its production involves harmful chemicals, impacting the environment and human health.

Microplastic Shedding
Releases microplastics that harm ecosystems and pose health risks.

End of Life
Non-recyclable due to mixed materials, contributing to landfill waste.

Not Biodegradable
Remains in the environment for centuries, adding to pollution.

At revoltech,

we’re redefining materials with bio-based ingredients only because we believe change isn’t just possible – it’s essential. Our materials are not only animal-free but genuinely planet-friendly.

Why rethink, remake, and revolutionize materials?

Driven by the need for change.
