ScobyTec BNC

With more and more people keen to pursue a sustainable lifestyle, ScobyTec UG has developed an environmentally friendly alternative to leather. ScobyTec BNC is based on bacterial cellulose, a fibrous material produced by bacteria. This supple material looks and feels like leather and is already being tested by a large car manufacturer for the interior trim.

In addition, Scoby Tec BNC requires 30 times less water than conventional leather production and is made without chemicals or animal farming. As a result, ScobyTec BNC is the sustainable leather of the future.
