Biophilica's patented leather alternative Treekind(R) is 100% biobased, petrochemical-free and made from green waste.Solving the problem of a superior 100% biobased coating is critical to unlock hard-wearing applications like furniture and auto, requiring hydrophobicity and anti-scratch performance. Entering these markets would significantly impact Biophilica's revenue potential.We have achieved two different types of coatings that, through analysis, could be developed further as a bio-PU or bio-polyester.The global eco-friendly furniture market size was worth USD 43.26 billion in 2022, with 8.6% CAGR from 2022-2030 (GrandviewResearch-2022). Furniture and auto accounted for 47% of the global vegan leather market (GrandviewResearch-2019).Petrochemical-free materials appeal to millennials, but are rare (Vegconomist). Treekind(R) is attractive to UK and international brands looking for truly sustainable leather alternatives.We are testing Treekind(R) in manufacturing and capsule collections through relationships with a number of luxury, classic, casual brands.A superior coating will:- Pass hard-wearing ISO-testing for water spotting/wet veslic rub testing/soiling unlock lucrative markets including upholstery and automotive- Demonstrate high performance of sustainable and PU-free materials- Achieve resource efficiencyAnnually, 22 million furniture pieces are discarded in the UK -- the majority going to landfill (TheNorthLondonWasteAuthority). 8 million cars are scrapped each year (cartakeback.com-2023). By entering these markets, Treekind(R) will replace non-recycled materials that add to the UK's and world's waste problem.Biophilica's awards include Manufacturing Futures, Drapers Award, Microfiber Innovation Challenge, Women in Innovation. Biophilica is part of Fashion for Good and Cambridge Institute for Sustainable Leadership.In this project, Biophilica will create multiple samples, followed by surface ISO-testing, mechanical ISO-testing, and chemical analysis.

Biophilica获得专利的皮革替代树（R）是100％生物基的，不含石化的树木，并由绿色废物制成。解决卓越的100％生物基涂层的问题对于解锁家具和汽车（例如需要疏水性和反抓斗性能）的硬耐用应用至关重要。进入这些市场将极大地影响生物富灵的收入潜力。我们已经实现了两种不同类型的涂料，这些涂料可以进一步开发为生物pu或生物 - 混蛋。全球环保家具友好的家具市场规模的价值为2022年的432.6亿美元，在20222-2030（Grandview-20230）（GrandView-20222222222）。家具和汽车占全球素食皮革市场的47％（GrandviewResearch-2019）。无素化学材料吸引了千禧一代，但很少见（素食主义者）。 Treekind(R) is attractive to UK and international brands looking for truly sustainable leather alternatives.We are testing Treekind(R) in manufacturing and capsule collections through relationships with a number of luxury, classic, casual brands.A superior coating will:- Pass hard-wearing ISO-testing for water spotting/wet veslic rub testing/soiling unlock lucrative markets including upholstery and automotive- Demonstrate high performance of sustainable and PU-free材料 - 在英国丢弃了2200万家家具的效率 - 大多数将用于垃圾填埋场（当时的洪多沃斯河畔填埋场）。每年废弃800万辆汽车（Cartakeback.com-2023）。通过进入这些市场，Treekind（R）将取代为英国和世界上的废物问题增加的非重生材料。Bioophilica的奖项包括制造期货，Drapers Award，Microfiber Innovation Innovation Challenge，In Innovation。 Biophilica是善良时尚和剑桥可持续领导研究所的一部分。在该项目中，生物贫困将创建多个样本，然后进行表面ISO测试，机械ISO测试和化学分析。
