THE PROBLEM
EMISSIONS
The fashion industry is responsible for ~10% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Leather and its plastic alternatives are among the worst culprits.
WATER
It takes 7,996 gallons of water to make a leather jacket. You could make 1,000 jackets with TômTex materials for the water in a single leather jacket.
MICROPLASTICS
Some 6 million tonnes of synthetic microfibers have been released from apparel washing between 1950 and 2016, with half of this amount emitted in the last 10 years.
HUMAN HEALTH
Studies found 20% higher morbidity among leather workers, possibly related to high levels of chromium in their blood.
We strive to redefine the fashion industry's impact by providing sustainable, safe, and innovative materials
TômTex Series M™ and Series WS™ has 10x lower carbon footprint than animal leather.
HOW CAN WE KNOW?
THE IMPACT
BIOBASED
CERTIFIED BY THE US DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, TÔMTEX IS 100% BIOBASED.
CO2 SAVINGS
WE EMIT 80% - 90% LESS CO2 THAN TRADITIONAL LEATHER.
WATER SAVINGS
WE USE 0.1% OF THE WATER OF LEATHER (PER M2 OF MATERIAL).
MATERIAL INGREDIENT
NO POLYURETHANE, NO TOXINS, NO PETROCHEMICALS. PERIOD.
