Pioneering the future of sustainable interiors
Elematec

Elematec will introduce its vegan leather made from eco-friendly cork at the expo. The company’s environmentally friendly synthetic leather consumes up to 90% less energy with 80% fewer solvents than conventional leather, and its synthetic recycled polyester fiber/fabric is made from plastic bottles.

The automotive industry continues to shift toward environmentally friendly, leather-free materials due to the rising demand for eco-friendly products. The vegan leather has been successfully developed and made from the highest-quality Portuguese cork. Cork has a unique pattern and wood-like texture and can be obtained repeatedly without felling the tree. Furthermore, stripped of its bark, the tree absorbs three to five times more CO2 than usual, making it extremely environmentally friendly.

Cork is lightweight, elastic and has excellent heat and sound insulation properties. Furthermore, it is porous, and its microscopic cellular structure bonds with resin materials to provide a high degree of safety and durability.

Elematec will provide such innovative and sustainable products to automotive clients all over the world using its partnerships with approximately 7,100 suppliers at around 70 domestic and overseas bases.
