During the manufacture of leather products such as jackets, bags and shoes waste is produced during the cutting out process. This cut waste is generally of little or no value and has traditionally been consigned to landfill.
We don't like waste.
Taking the leather offcut, the recycling process shreds the leather to equal size small pieces/flakes and binds them back together using a binding agent and water. The recycled flat sheet can then be textured and coloured like normal leather. Recent advances in the technology also means that the binding agent does not have to contain solvent based adhesives so that the water used in the process can be recycled, making even more environmentally friendly than it was before.
This process is all done in the UK too. We are reducing our carbon footprint every step of the way to ensure that the eco-friendly promotional products you receive are as close to perfect as humanly possible.
The only difference between recycled leather and natural leather tends to be that the recycled option has a texture and pattern consistency that the natural product tends to lack. Natural leather will differ in shades of colour so that a batch of leather bound notebooks may vary in colour.
It is our fundamental goal to be as eco-friendly and environmentally sustainable as possible as a brand. Recycled leather is giving us that opportunity since it's made from offcuts, uses so further adhesives and is made locally. We're just starting with the recycled leather notebooks, but we look forward to expanding our range and providing you more top quality, great looking promotional products like these recycled leather notebooks in the future.
