From the waste of the apple juice industry

INTRODUCING APPLESKIN™

Frumat® was founded in 2009 in Italy and is active in the transformation of biological industrial residuals from the production of apple juice into new raw materials for the development of innovative products.

Frumat® works closely with Italian juice companies making the AppleSkin™ a 100% Italian material.

From apple waste to a wearable material

APPLESKIN PRODUCTION STAGES

The production of the AppleSkin™ starts in Bolzano, in the north of Italy a land with many apple cutlings and thus many apple juice companies.

Apple waste from the juice industry is gathered by Frumat® and mixed with organic cotton and recycled PU to create a durable leather like material. Created in Italy this innovative material is a huge success in the step towards a cruelty-free fashion industry. 

Frumat® partners with MABEL, an Italian textile company, providing their facilities to produce the material. Their collaboration helped develop a sustainable material with high technical specifications, composed up to 50% of retrieved industrial waste that would have been otherwise destroyed with all annexed costs and damages to the environment.
