Next generation leather launched by Elmo
Swedish leather manufacturer Elmo has introduced Elmoorganic, a new range of automotive leather designed with enhanced sustainability in mind.
The leather is made using bio-based tanning methods, incorporating a by-product from the food industry as a tanning agent. This results in a material that combines natural character and aesthetics, with a "touch that improves with age".
The Elmoorganic range is part of Elmo’s broader efforts to reduce the environmental impact of leather production. This next generation, biobased ‘Zero Waste Leather’ technology reduces chemical and water consumption during manufacturing, and lowers emissions to water by more than 70% compared to traditional chrome-free leathers. Additionally, Elmoorganic is free from aldehydes and metals, making it a more environmentally friendly alternative to conventional leather.
This new range aims to address the increasing demand for more sustainable options in the automotive industry without compromising on quality or luxury.
