Ohoskin and RECARBON together for an elegant, light weight and sustainable material
Ohoskin, an Italian manufacturer of an alternative material to the animal leather, and RECARBON, a company that has developed a one-stop solution for the circularity of carbon fibre, have announced a collaboration to create a new material for the automotive, marine and furniture industries.
The new material, which will be produced by combining Ohoskin’s leather alternative made from orange and cactus byproducts with RECARBON’s recycled carbon fibre, will feature high strength, light weight and sustainability.
“We are excited to collaborate with RECARBON to make this new material,” said Ohoskin COO Stefano Mazzetti. “RECARBON’s recycled carbon fibre is an innovative and sustainable material that fits perfectly with the sustainability values behind our innovative material. Together, we believe we can offer the market a unique and cutting-edge product.”
“The collaboration with Ohoskin is an important step for RECARBON,” said RECARBON CEO Luca Grati. “The material we are developing together has the potential to innovate the automotive, marine and furniture industries. We are convinced that the combination of Ohoskin’s sustainable material and recycled carbon fibre can create an elegant, light weight and sustainable product in line with the needs of modern consumers.”
