Bioleather Development

used for the Symbi project
2023

The 'bacterial leather' was made using fermentation processes and was grown by a symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast (scoby). The other, softer version is a material made from chickpea water - aquafaba and algae.
The necessity of finding alternatives to currently available PVC and PU-based non-biodegradable vegan leathers has led to exploring the potential of utilising commonly perceived as waste bacterial cellulose film from kombucha drink and waste aquafaba.
