Overview: 
Uncaged Innovations is a biomaterials company combining the power of nature and technology to reimagine leather. They “mimic leather without sacrificing the characteristics that make it a respected material for the fashion, automotive and home goods industries”.

Ingredient information:
One version of the material is fully plastic-free. Others include a small amount of plant-based polyurethane or other plant-based plastics to help with performance.

Sustainability credentials:

Uncaged Innovations can replicate the quality and durability of leather with nature and bio-technology. They can develop a distinctive array of leather alternatives that support different uses and markets.
