项目摘要

Biophilica's patented leather alternative Treekind(R), developed together with Eurofins BLC Leather, is an existing product for watch strap applications.Petrochemical-free materials appeal across the board to audiences, especially millennials and Gen Z. However, these materials are rare (Vegconomist). Treekind(R), completely free of petrochemicals, is the only leather alternative made from green waste -- combined with plant-only plasticizers and binders. This is attractive to UK/international furniture brands looking for alternatives to leather and petrochemical/non-biodegradable PU/PVC. Biophilica has relationships with a number of high-profile brands. ID Watches is revealing their Treekind collection of Watches a little later this year. BESTSELLER announced in a joint press release that their brand Jack & Jones will create sample products with Treekind(R). Treekind(R) is suitable for watch straps, leathergoods, and some footwear applications. Scaling Treekind(R) is required for the material to be competitively priced. This feasibility study will focus on key equipment to run production tests.In this project, we want to investigate manufacturing processes together with manufacturers, digital systems for our processes to ensure quality control in our material, renewable energy options for the production process of Treekind(R), as well as reclamation of resources to ensure circularity within the production processes.

Biophilica的专利皮革替代品Treekind(R)与Eurofins BLC leather共同开发，是表带应用的现有产品。不含石化的材料对所有观众都很有吸引力，尤其是千禧一代和z世代。然而，这些材料很少见（vegeconomist）。Treekind(R)完全不含石化产品，是唯一一种由绿色废物制成的皮革替代品，并结合了植物增塑剂和粘合剂。这对寻找皮革和石化/不可生物降解PU/PVC替代品的英国/国际家具品牌很有吸引力。Biophilica与许多知名品牌建立了合作关系。ID手表将在今年晚些时候公布他们的Treekind手表系列。BESTSELLER在一份联合新闻稿中宣布，他们的品牌Jack & Jones将与Treekind(R)合作推出样品产品。Treekind(R)适用于表带，皮革制品和一些鞋类应用。为使材料具有价格竞争力，需要缩放树型(R)。这项可行性研究将侧重于运行生产测试的关键设备。在这个项目中，我们希望与制造商一起研究制造过程，为我们的过程提供数字系统，以确保材料的质量控制，为Treekind(R)的生产过程提供可再生能源选择，以及回收资源以确保生产过程中的循环性。
