Sep 18, 2024By Tintin Nilsson

At Adiantes, our commitment to sustainability is at the core of everything we do. In recent years, we have intensified our focus on research and development to explore innovative, eco-friendly alternatives to traditional leather. By partnering with industry leaders such as Kvadrat and Texon, we’ve been able to integrate premium materials like Kvadrat's Remix 3 wool and Texon Vogue into our production, paving the way for a more circular and sustainable future.

The Power of Collaboration

In 2024, we made significant strides in researching and using sustainable materials at our production facility located outside Bangkok, Thailand. Through our collaboration with Kvadrat, we’ve incorporated Remix 3, a high-quality wool upholstery fabric renowned for its vibrant color palette and low environmental impact. Additionally, our partnership with Texon has allowed us to utilize Texon Vogue, an alternative material certified for its responsible production, which ensures no animal products are used.

We’ve taken these innovations further by focusing on circularity and material upcycling in our manufacturing processes. Our facility has successfully integrated these materials into a range of products, from small leather goods to fashion accessories. By doing so, we are in collaboration with our clients, significantly reducing our environmental footprint without compromising on quality or design.

2024: A Year of Local Partnerships and New Innovations

This year has been particularly active in terms of developing partnerships with local suppliers of recycled materials. We are excited to announce a new material development and option of 100% recycled PET fabric, a significant milestone that further aligns with our sustainability goals. Alternative leather material has shown great potential across various industries, from public procurement to corporate gifting and even fashion, where the demand for innovative, eco-conscious materials is ever-growing.
