With the participation of Beyond Leather and Covestro The collaboration between Lefance, Beyond Leather, and Covestro has resulted in LEAP, an innovative material made from apple waste that positions itself as an alternative to animal leather for the fashion and accessories sector. Thanks to advanced chemical solutions such as INSQIN, the material achieves durability, resistance, and aesthetic quality suitable for fashion applications. This project exemplifies how chemistry and materials innovation can enable circular models, transform resource-intensive industries, and open new opportunities for sustainable products without compromising design or quality.
