TômTex bio-based leather-like material

TômTex bio-based leather-like material that is made with chitosan – a biopolymer derived from chitin from waste shrimp, crab and lobster shells as well as fish scales – mixed with food waste. Currently under development, it promises to be biodegradable and durable while remaining soft enough to be hand-stitched or machine-sewn. Image TômTex.
