Can discarded plastic bottles and production waste become high-performance leather alternatives?
Sileather is proving that this is possible with action. With 90% of its recycled materials, it supports sustainability and maintains its consistent durability.
Three-Layer Structure
The secret of Sileather silicone leather lies in its three-layer structure:
Silicone Surface Layer: Provides a soft feel and durability.
Silicone Bonding Layer: Securely binds the layers together.
Eco-Friendly Substrate: Made from fabric created with recycled plastic bottles turned into yarn.
These three components work together seamlessly, ensuring the leather retains its excellent quality while significantly boosting its environmental credentials.
The Circular Journey of Silicone Raw Materials
During production, Sileather makes the most of silicone waste materials. These waste materials are collected, broken down into basic compounds, and then re-polymerized into new silicone raw materials, which are put back into production. This closed-loop recycling process not only reduces resource waste but also minimizes the environmental impact.
From Plastic Bottles to Yarn Substrate
Sileather uses an environmentally friendly recycling process for the substrate.
Discarded plastic bottles are cleaned, crushed, and melted down into fibers, which are then spun into yarn. This yarn is woven into fabric that forms the base of the leather. Not only is the fabric durable and strong, but it also adds an extra layer of environmental value to the product. This innovation extends the life cycle of plastic and creates new opportunities for waste recycling.
Making the Future Greener
Sileather silicone leather demonstrates that high quality and sustainability can go hand in hand. Fully utilizing both production waste and externally recycled materials, offers potential value for your products.
In the future, sustainability will not only be a choice but a responsibility. Waste is not the end, but a new beginning. Whether manufacturers or consumers, we can all contribute to environmental protection by embracing these innovative materials!
