Lenzing Group has partnered with leather alternative expert Recyc Leather to introduce Pelinova, an innovative material that fuses TENCEL?? Lyocell fibers and recycled leather fibers for high-end fashion applications. Joining forces with Danish advanced contemporary brand GANNI, this dynamic trio is set to bring this next-generation material to the market as an alternative to genuine leather materials, starting with GANNI's Slouchy Boots launching early this year.

Pelinova: a hybrid alternative combining TENCEL?? L Tokyocell fibers and recycled leather fibers. Recyc Leather's next-generation material, Pelinova®?, is created through a unique, transparent process which involves collecting pre-consumer recycled leather and then hydro-jetting the leather fibers into the TENCEL??

Lanocell fibers, a standout material within the TENCEL?? brand portfolio that is produced from a resource-saving, closed-loop production process. TENCEL??

Liocell fibers are also unfavorable to odor-causing bacteria. The combined efforts between Lenzing and Recyc Leather result in a material which is supple, flexible, and durable, with a low environmental impact utilizing 70% less water than traditional methods and reducing CO2 emissions. Riding on this exciting breakthrough in footwear, Recyc Leather is also exploring the possibility of expanding the fabric application to other leather goods spanning home textiles, furniture, automobile interiors and the luxury segment.

Elevating the GANNI partnership: GANNI is a B Corp. certified company, on a journey to become the most responsible version of itself. They believe it's a moral obligation to do better every day.

GANNI is committed to minimizing social and environmental impact within its business operation with a goal to reach 50% absolute carbon reduction by 2027, with materials and innovation among its key pillars in reaching this target. In addition to footwear, GANNI sees the application of Recyc Leather's Pelinova®? with TENCEL??

Lycell fibers in the accessories category. GANNI, Recyc Leather, and Lenzing have future developments in the pipeline to get even closer to being able to scale the use of the material. During Premiere Vision Paris (PV Paris, February 6-8), Lenzing will be joined by Recyc Leather and GANNI at a panel discussion to share their collaborative experiences as a prime example of how companies can unite to create high-end fashion using responsibly produced recycled materials.
