Press Kit

Biophilica transforms green waste into a plant-based leather alternative that is 100% biobased (free of PU, PVC and any other petrochemicals), low-resource and confirmed home compostable. Treekind is made locally, currently in London. We never use harsh chemicals in our production of Treekind®.

Treekind® by Biophilica is patented.

Leather has a high carbon footprint, water usage and waste rates. Treekind® offers a sustainable, circular alternative to leather and its synthetic competitors to support the transition to circular manufacturing and consumption.

Treekind® can be made in a range of colors and textures.

We are currently using our demo line to produce Treekind® continuously.
