VIRIDIS

Overview:
Viridis was developed to meet the growing demand for ecological alternatives to leather. Viridis is an innovative organic-based material, made from corn, wheat and viscose, reaching 69% organic content, as demonstrated and certified by the United States Department of Agriculture.
 
Ingredient information:
”Viridis’ biobased content is equal to 69%, its corn-derived and FSC viscose content makes it the most green product among the synthetic fabrics:
43 % corn polyols
26 % FSC viscose
31% normal PU”
 
Sustainability credentials:
”Viridis has less impact on human health, environment, climate change, global warming than a traditional product coming from petroleum”. Although it contains solvents, Panama Trimmings state that those they use comply with REACH regulations and are therefore not harmful – to either humans or the environment.
 
Application and use:
Virdis is a practical alternative to real leather because of its similar look and texture — it is also available in a variety of finishes. It can be used across fashion, footwear and accessories.
