The impact of leather
Let's delve into the leather conversation, shall we? While it exudes timeless appeal, its ecological footprint is far from ideal. Picture this: cows, cows, and more cows.
Did you know that a significant portion of global greenhouse gas emissions stems from livestock? It's akin to a nation's annual emissions! And here's the kicker: over a third of our precious habitable land is dedicated to these animals. That's a considerable chunk of real estate for our four-legged friends, wouldn't you agree?
But wait, there's more. The majority of deforestation in South America? You guessed it—cattle ranching is a major driver. But fear not, sustainability advocates, because we're pioneering a shift with our leather alternative treasures. It's time to make a stylish statement while reducing our environmental impact!
The future of sustainability isn’t only green - it’s golden, too.
Beyond brewing
Our Plant Skin Collection is a product of the community. Most of the time, residue from beer brewing is disposed of. Repurposing it is not unheard of, but it does happen quite rarely. Why not use it and give it a new life?
Choosing Beer Skin™ for your product is more than just a great aesthetic and design decision. It’s choosing the solution and not the problem.
Brewer’s spent grain (BSG) accounts for approx. 85 % of all residues produced by the brewing industry, with only 10% being used as animal feed.
