  • If you visited 3daysofdesign you could see Leap in action...

    Leap was displayed at 3daysofdesign last week. The wonderful Marco Evaristti and I got to hang out on a beautiful sofa he designed and upholstered in our apple waste-based material Leap. This version is our burgundy color line. Great moment for Beyond Leather Materials ApS, seeing our next-gen material shown in action to thousands of visitors. A moment that gives you a lot of energy for the challenges ahead. Thanks again Marco, for choosing Leap 🍏 Just FYI, my sneaker are also made with Leap 🍏😉

    From apple waste to a new, more sustainable material for fashion - together with Lefance, Beyond Leather Materials ApS and Covestro. 🌿👜🍎 This inspiring project shows how material innovation and chemistry can create more sustainable alternatives for the fashion and accessories industry. By transforming apple waste into an innovative material with the durability, resistance and aesthetic quality required for fashion applications, the project demonstrates the potential of circular solutions without compromising on design or performance. We are proud that this collaboration has now been recognized at the Expoquimia 2026 Best in Class initiative. 🏆 Special congratulations to Lefance for receiving this year’s award in the category and thank you to all partners involved for the great collaboration that made this project possible. Covestro is very proud to contribute material solutions that enable more sustainable innovations for the fashion industry. #Expoquimia2026 #BestInClass #Sustainability #Partnership De residuos de manzana a un nuevo material más sostenible para la moda, junto con Lefance, Beyond Leather Materials ApS y Covestro. 🌿👜🍎 Este inspirador proyecto muestra cómo la innovación en materiales y la química pueden crear alternativas más sostenibles para la industria de la moda y los accesorios.

  • Grateful to the KRAHN Chemie Group team for doing this one properly with us. Sustainability is easy to claim and hard to measure. We now have real numbers on where Leap stands, and where we can still improve. That's the part we find most useful.

    How sustainable is “sustainable”? It’s time to measure it. With new regulations like the Empowering Consumers for the Green Transition Directive (EmpCo) and the Digital Product Passport (DPP), companies need science-based proof for their sustainability claims. Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) and Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) not only provide that proof but also deliver valuable insights for improvement. In our latest blog, we show how an LCA helped Beyond Leather Materials ApS quantify the environmental impact of their next-gen material Leap – partly made from apple waste, 91% bio-based and produced in Europe. The results give Beyond Leather Materials a robust foundation for upcoming regulations while highlighting opportunities to further reduce their environmental footprint through optimization of materials, processes and supply chains. 👉 Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/dNiDyJ_2 #Sustainability #LCA #CircularEconomy #ProductSustainability #KRAHNChemie

  • Building on last year’s PEF report and the hotspot analysis derived from it, we’re excited to join a MADE Innovation Project. Together with the Danish Technological Institute, we will focus on further reducing the energy consumption in the production of Leap. This project is an important step in continuing to refine and improve our processes based on data-driven insights. We look forward to developing new solutions and pushing this work forward.

  • We are proud to see Leap® meet the performance and craftsmanship standards of premium yachting interiors. Thank you to F/YACHTING for the trust and for setting the bar high.

    There is a reason most next-gen materials never make it in the real world. The moment you expose them to the actual requirements like water, temperature changes, high humidity, UV light exposure, abrasion, bending, stitching, stretching, they break apart. Leap® didn't break. It passed the demanding yachting industry requirements. This week we announced our new partnership between Beyond Leather Materials ApS and F/YACHTING. The industry leader within premium yachting interior. Their eye for craftsmanship is extreme. And I mean that in the best way possible. Every stitch, every surface, every detail is challenged until it is right. They don't just choose materials because the story sounds good. They always set quality first. In the end, you need high quality and a story that actually matters. We can deliver both.

  • Big congratulations to Anna Diehr and here launch with Anna Valloire. Thank you for your trust and taking the Leap 🚀 🍏

    Nun ist es soweit: La Première Collection by Anna Valloire ist online. Vor zwei Jahren hatte ich eine Idee, die mich nicht mehr losgelassen hat: Kann Mode nicht zugleich Luxus, Verantwortung und Sinn vereinen? Neben meinem Vollzeitjob und vielen persönlichen Herausforderungen habe ich Schritt für Schritt an dieser Vision gearbeitet. Jede freie Minute floss in Entwürfe, Materialien, Gespräche mit Manufakturen und unzählige Entscheidungen. Aus dieser Reise ist Anna Valloire entstanden, eine Marke, die zeigt, dass Eleganz ihre Wurzeln hat: in Verantwortung, in Handwerk, in der Natur. Jede Tasche trägt den Namen einer Blume 🌸 – als Symbol für Stärke, Eleganz und Schönheit. Ich freue mich darauf, diesen Weg zu teilen, mit allen, die an eine Zukunft glauben, in der Mode nicht nur schön, sondern auch bedeutungsvoll ist. Ein besonderer Dank gilt der Zusammenarbeit mit Beyond Leather Materials ApS, die mit ihrem innovativen Material LEAP das Potenzial haben, die Welt zu verändern und der Täschnermanufaktur von Melina Bucher, die mit höchster Handwerkskunst meine Taschendesigns Wirklichkeit werden lässt. In den nächsten Wochen werde ich mehr über den Entstehungsprozess und meine weiteren Partner erzählen. Begleitet mich gerne auf diesem spannenden Weg. Schaut gerne vorbei. www.annavalloire.de #AnnaValloire #SustainableLuxury #LaPremièreCollection #FashionWithMeaning

  • HVISK just took the Leap 🥳

    Two years ago, we started talking. Now they launched 🚀 Yesterday at CIFF, HVISK officially took the Leap and launched their new label Anera, made with our material created from apple waste by Beyond Leather Materials ApS 🍏 It was more than a launch. It was a moment that reminded me why we’re doing this. Making waste beautiful is not just a slogan, it's our mission we share with every brand that chooses to join our journey. I am proud of HVISK for making this bold move. Looking forward to see where Anera x Leap will bring them 📈📈📈

  • Before Leap becomes Leap, it looks exactly like this. 🍎 👇 Leftover apple pulp. Everything that’s left behind after juicing. We give it a second life. Transform it into Leap. 💚 Would you have guessed this ends up in furniture, bags, and more? - Made in Germany, Designed in Denmark - 91% biobased - Animal-free If you're curious on how waste becomes worth, let us know. We'd love to talk.
