24/02/2022
The graphene adds durability to the leather, making it suitable for clothing, footwear, seating and furniture, said the company.
Conceria Nuvolari was founded in 2009 and has a strong focus on research and development.
Its Nature-L collection is certified for biodegradability and compostability. In 2020, it was awarded the Italian Leather Research Institute - SSIP ISO 20136 Standard Biodegradability in aerobic conditions of 85% in 45 days.
To offset the carbon footprint related to the Nature-L line, the Marche-based company has supported projects in India and South Korea.
Its Skingoat leathers – which can be made with Nature-L process - are breathable, thermoregulating and comfortable, and are aimed at the footwear and clothing sectors.
