Office Star introduces ECOleather, a new seating
upholstery made of 20% recycled leather. This new
upholstery cover provides an ecological and
economical decision in seating upholstery compared
to fully synthetic vinyls. The recycled leather is
featured as the backing to enhance stability, durability
and comfort. The face content is polyurethane (60%)
for a softer-than-leather feel. Balance of the material
(20%) is fabric.
At Office Star, we realize that there are many choices in products and materials. The
below details are presented to help you understand ECOleather, so you can make an
informed decision.
A natural resource qualifies as a renewable resource if it is replenished by natural
processes at a rate comparable or faster than its rate of consumption by humans or
other users. The term also has the connotation of sustainability of the natural
environment.
Renewable resources may also mean commodities such as wood, paper and leather.· In the leather industry, the raw materials are by-products of the meat industry, with the
meat having higher value than the skin.· The recycled leather is also known as “bonded leather”, which is a recycled man-made
material containing elements of recycled leathers, leather scrap & tannery leather
fibers, which otherwise would go to a landfill.
Bonded leather industries could be considered as environmentally and ecologically
friendly because they recycle leather scraps that are very difficult to eliminate.
