Green Dot develops compostable synthetic leather from bioplastic

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.

在堪萨斯州，绿点已经与该公司的TerraTek地Flex的生物塑料制成一个compositable合成革。新合成革相结合的高品质的皮革用打火机环境足迹的外观和感觉相对于传统的皮革鞣制或合成革制造。该材料可以返回到大自然，如果放置在堆肥环境时，其使用寿命结束。初步试验已经完成在美国的生产合作伙伴。新合成革可与各种自然生物降解的底布广泛的颜色，纹理和厚度进行。
