NATURAL FIBRE WELDING - MIRUM
Overview:
MIRUM is a new and innovative leather-like material that is entirely free from both animal and plastic inputs. “It is a high-performance solution for designers and brands looking to shrink their footprint and expand their creative palettes”.
Ingredient information:
MIRUM is made from plants – both fibre and vegetable oils. It uses natural nutrient and bio-neutral ingredients, never plastics or petrochemicals — circumventing negative impacts such as microplastics, toxic chemicals, and dyes leaching out at the end of life.
Sustainability credentials:
MIRUM is revolutionary and unique in that it does not use any petrochemicals nor any synthetic glues/polymers derived from petrochemicals. MIRUM is the first material of its kind designed to be both 100% recyclable and 100% circular in nature.
Application and use:
”MIRUM can be used as a leather complement, a leather substitute, and, most importantly, a complete replacement for leather-like materials that contain plastics”. MIRUM can be used in footwear, fashion, automotive, accessories, upholstery, and more.
