In Kansas, Green Dot has developed a compositable synthetic leather made with the company’s Terratek Flex bioplastic.
The new synthetic leather combines the look and feel of high quality
leather with a lighter environmental footprint compared to traditional
leather tanning or synthetic leather manufacturing. The material can be
returned to nature if placed in a composting environment when its useful
life is over. Initial trials have been completed with manufacturing
partners in the U.S.. The new synthetic leather can be made in a wide
range of colors, textures and thicknesses with a variety of naturally
biodegradable backings.
