Not all vegan leathers are the same.

Check the  Biomass content 

What is Biomass Content?


Biomass refers to the amount of plant-based content present in a specific product.

For fabrics, the biomass content is measured per 1 yard,
Green Continue's fabric has a maximum of 78% biomass content, which is higher compared to other companies.

Going forward, our ongoing development will contribute to creating 100% fully plant-based leather.

Natural Leather

Has environmental burdens from using chromium heavy metals, greenhouse gas emissions and wastewater pollution from livestock rearing processes, includes issues of animal cruelty, and is highly priced.

Artificial Leather

Has eco-friendly issues from using harmful chemicals like PVC and carbon emissions, has problems with sustainability, and lacks durability. Growth is slowing due to increasing demand for carbon-neutral and eco-friendly materials.

Regenerated Leather

Refers to leather made by regenerating scraps from cutting natural leather. It is more durable than artificial leather and more eco-friendly than natural leather, but since it uses animal-based materials, it cannot be considered vegan leather.

GreenContinue Leather

A 0% animal-derived, vegan fabric made from domestic plant by-products. It contributes to the environment by preventing carbon emissions that would occur from discarding by-products and upcycling them into materials. Additionally,


it can be used in various ways depending on the unique characteristics of the by-products.

GREEN CONTINUE Plant-Based Leather Fabric

01
Can be produced to match desired fabric thickness and color by customers.
02

Can reduce the 7.2 billion animals slaughtered annually for leather production by substituting with plant-based leather fabric.

03

Combined with the tenacious vitality of cactus, it is resistant to moisture and water, as well as wear and tear, allowing it to substitute regular leather.

04
Any type of product can be provided through customization to suit its intended use.



Characteristics of Cactus Leather


Green Continue uses by-products discarded from domestic cactus farms.

Cactus leaves regenerate as a resource after 6 months.

It is a pure eco-friendly resource cultivated without pesticides.

(Limited to some fabrics) It biodegrades naturally in soil within 5 years.

Resistant to moisture and water, it has an average lifespan 5 years longer than existing animal leather.

Utilizing by-products generates additional income for farm owners.

A 33,000 m² cactus farm has a carbon dioxide absorption effect of 7,000 tons.



Characteristics of Citrus Peel Leather



We collect and reuse citrus peels discarded in Korea to produce fabric.

As long as citrus is cultivated, the peels can be continually used as a resource.

No harmful chemicals are used in the cellulose extraction process from citrus peels.

(Limited to some fabrics) It biodegrades in regular soil within 5 years.

Has a similar sheen and texture to natural leather.

Utilizing by-products generates additional income for farm owners.

Reusing citrus peels helps reduce carbon emissions.

Any material is possible

as long as cellulose can be extracted.

What is Cellulose?



CELLULOSE POLYMER


This word, called "fibrous" in Korean, refers to a compound where hundreds to thousands of D-glucose unit bodies are linked by glycoside bonds.


Cellulose is particularly abundant in green plants and is considered the most abundant organic compound on Earth.


As it is fibrous, it is mainly used in the production of cardboard and paper. Green Continue is upcycling this fibrous extract into new materials.
