The biomaterials startup Modern Meadow has declared that the commercial market is now open for their Bio-Vera leather substitute. The business announced that it has increased its production capacity to produce more than 500,000 square meters of Bio-Vera material yearly during the most recent Lineapelle Milano leather market.
Without the use of petroleum-based or animal-derived components, Bio-Vera resembles the appearance, feel, and functionality of traditional leather. It is created from a blend of plant-based proteins and polymers called Bio-Alloy. The material is positioned as a sustainable alternative in the leather industry thanks to its more than 90% renewable carbon content.
“With our new production capabilities, we are confident in our ability to help our customers achieve their sustainability goals at scale,” said Modern Meadow President and CEO David Williamson, expressing confidence in the company’s ability to satisfy commercial demands.
Bio-Vera is intended for usage in a number of industries, including the automobile, furniture, fashion accessory, and footwear sectors. Modern Meadow sold off its cosmetics and biomedical sections to HTL Biotechnology earlier this year, refocusing its operations on biomaterials, and then expanded into commercial production.
