TEXTILE
Eco-Friendly,
Leather-like Textile
Gelatex is the first eco-friendly leather-like material that is 100% non-toxic, made of waste and is easily scalable. It is made from gelatin nanofibers by up-cycling meat industry waste, an abundant and under-valued resource. It is a unique material, different from any other, but closest to suede or leather.
Case Studies
"What really caught my attention about Gelatex was its many positive sides such as sustainability, constant quality and that it comes in rolls."

–Anna Lehmusniemi
Founder & designer at NO/AN
"What excites me the most about Gelatex is the scalability and even topography of the material, which in other words means smaller leftover percentage"

Textile Formulation
We use a proprietary process of creating a nano-fibrous mesh that becomes the base textile.
Nano-Fibrous Mesh
​
We use a proprietary technology to spin a nano-fibrous mesh from gelatin-based solution.
Lamination + Finishing
​
The mesh is laminated with cotton and finished with sustainable ingredients for better durability and nice touch.
