A new sustainable material made of leather waste

Giving leather waste a second life

Founded in 2017, Recyc Leather is an innovative material produced through a smart recycling process which integrates leather scraps from different products such as garden gloves.

Consumers are ready for a change

New generations are much more socially and environmentally conscious consumers.

We design and manufacture both recycled leather and finished products. We offer a green alternative to genuine leather from both sustainable and economical perspectives.

The Recyc LeatherTM story began 10 years ago when founder Aron Yu, working with brands for bookbinding designs, kept looking for sustainable materials in his printer factory.
