The Substrate Test results are in, and they confirm that Brightbond® performs as well as commercial glues for cellulosic substrates. 😁 The substrates failed before the glue did, meaning Brightbond® is stronger than the material itself. This highlights just how powerful and durable our 100% biobased adhesive is, even when tested against traditional options. Check out the chart to see the strength of Brightbond® in comparison with PVA when tested on cardboard and paper! 📉 Find out more below. https://lnkd.in/eRZBmTcc

Composting the Future: BEEN London x Treekind® We were proud to partner with BEEN London in their mission to create sustainable accessories. This collaboration began in 2021 with a grant from ReLondon and led to the creation of a fully home-compostable collection using our Treekind® material. 🌱 The collection includes a tote bag and small "leather" goods like a keyring and coin purse — all made from our plastic-free alternative to leather. https://lnkd.in/eisiVDRG #SustainableFashion

This substrate failure test is a powerful demonstration of the resilience and durability of our 100% biobased adhesive. #SustainableInnovation #StrongBonds #BiobasedMaterials #Biophilica

Ever wondered about the water footprint of traditional leather production? According to Circumfauna.org, it can be as high as 104,670 litres for just one hide! This massive volume of water usage poses significant environmental challenges, particularly as water scarcity becomes an increasingly pressing global issue. In comparison, Treekind® only uses less than 1% of the water used in conventional leather processing. Treekind®, crafted from eco-friendly agricultural and garden waste, offers a sustainable solution. Not only does Treekind® drastically reduce water consumption compared to conventional leather, but it also eliminates the need for plastic, making it a double win for the planet. 🌎 Image credit: Alexandra Diaconu https://lnkd.in/eCRJ93D8 #BeTreekind

AND if you're attending Lineapelle in Milan this week, you can find out all about it there. Pop along to our stand, number L28 and say hello. #SustainableInnovation #Brightbond #BiobasedAdhesive #CircularDesign #Biophilica
