Corn is for long used as biofuel and other uses to replace oil-based materials. When it comes to fashion, our partner Viridis® has find a way to produce animal-free and sustainable wearable materials from corn.

CORNSKIN™ PRODUCTION STAGES
The CornSkin's breakthrough for leather-alternative materials is that it is the only PU made with renewable resources.
Viridis® contains 43% of polyols coming from corn grown for industrial end-use, processed into ethanol and its by-products. This corn is not the canned one produced for the food sector. Just about anything that can be made from a barrel of oil can be made from a bushel of corn and that is why renewable, environmentally-friendly corn is replacing petroleum products.
The CornSkin maeterial is thus a polymers from raw plant-related renewable materials. Viridis® contains 43% of polyols coming from corn, the only existing PU having a total biobased content equal to 69%.
