AppleFibre: A sustainable alternative revolutionizing the fashion industry

 

Sustainability is no longer just a trend—it’s a necessity. At SOHOTREE, we have invested years of research into transforming the leather industry with a more sustainable, ethical, and high-performance material. The result? AppleFibre—a game-changing alternative to traditional leather that delivers high durability, flexibility, and premium feel while being lighter and environmentally friendly.

With a tensile strength of 50 N/mm² (compared to cow leather’s 8 – 25 N/mm²), AppleFibre isn’t just an alternative—it’s an upgrade. Made from 60% bio-based materials, it sets a new standard for conscious consumers looking for sustainable and high-quality accessories.

 

The environmental impact: A greener choice

Traditional leather production is resource-intensive—leading to deforestation, excessive water consumption, and harmful chemical waste.In contrast, AppleFibre is made from upcycled apple pomace—the leftover peels of Apple. Instead of going to waste, these natural byproducts are transformed into a durable, water-resistant, and lightweight material, significantly reducing environmental impact.

How is AppleFibre made?

Unlike synthetic alternatives that rely on petroleum-based materials, AppleFibre is derived from natural and recycled components. Here’s how we do it:

1. Sourcing Apple Waste – We collect apple pomace from industrial juice production, reducing food waste.
2. Drying & Processing – The peels and pulp are dried, finely ground into powder, and blended with eco-friendly binders.
3. Transformation – The mixture is processed into a durable, flexible, and water-resistant material that mimics traditional leather—only better.

The benefits: Strength, performance, and sustainability

AppleFibre is not just about sustainability—it’s about creating high-quality products that perform exceptionally well while being ethically produced.

• Superior Strength: AppleFibre has a tensile strength of 50 N/mm², making it more durable than traditional leather.
• Lightweight & Water-Resistant: Unlike traditional leather, AppleFibre is naturally lighter, making it perfect for daily essentials like wallets and laptop sleeves.
• Eco-Friendly & Cruelty-Free: With a 60% bio-based composition, AppleFibre significantly reduces reliance on synthetic and animal-based materials.
