Скачать или смотреть This Material Might Replace Leather Forever: Made from Orange Waste, Designed for Cars & Fashion

Traditional leather emits up to 87 kg of CO₂ per square metre.

Ohoskin does it in 2.57, using orange and cactus waste. That’s the power of circular design. 🍊
Globally, over a billion animals are killed every year for leather. And most of that leather? It's chrome-tanned, a process that’s toxic to ecosystems and harmful to workers. Meanwhile, orange peels and cactus byproducts of Sicilian agriculture are being discarded in tonnes. What if we could turn that waste into something beautiful?

This episode explores Ohoskin, a game-changing plantbased leather alternative that’s fossil-free, cruelty-free, and already being used by the automotive and fashion industry, from electric microcars to luxury handbags.
Forget what you thought you knew about "plantbased leather." This is durable, water-resistant, embossed, and tested for real-world use.

The interiors of a Microlino car. A fully functional handbag. A new narrative around waste, innovation, and ethics. Because sustainability means a design that aligns with your values.

In this episode of Sustainable Tea with Shreya, India’s biggest sustainability podcast, Shreya visits the Ohoskin team in Milan to explore how food waste is being transformed into a material that challenges the leather industry and offers a cleaner, kinder alternative for our future.
