Olive Leather, an innovative material, emerges from the olive pulp produced during olive oil manufacturing in Turkey. This groundbreaking substance is a 100% vegan and sustainable next-generation material derived entirely from biowastes, primarily sourced from the olive industry. Notably, both the raw material and the production processes are patented, ensuring a unique and proprietary creation.
Being 100% bio-based, olive leather production capacity is substantial and capable of meeting high industrial demands. One of its standout qualities is its remarkable reduction in carbon emissions, approximately six times less than the manufacturing process of petroleum-based products. This characteristic, alongside its superior quality, and sustainability, positions olive leather as one of the premier alternatives in various industries.
Unlike materials like PLA derived from resources with nutritional value, olive leather steers clear of such resources, enhancing the value of its bio-based composition. Certified by USDA as 63% biobased and DIN as 91% biobased, olive leather also holds certifications from PETA and the European Vegetarian Union (V-label), confirming its 100% vegan nature.
Thorough testing conducted by globally renowned independent firms such as Intertek and SGS indicates that the olive leather process not only meets but also exceeds expectations in over 35 physical and chemical quality assessments.
Choosing olive leather over petroleum-based materials significantly reduces reliance on non-renewable resources. By doing so, support is extended to the olive industry, effectively repurposing waste that otherwise lacks alternative uses and would linger in nature for centuries.
Moreover, the entire process involved in the creation of olive leather, from raw material production to the final product, occurs within a compact 100km radius (approximately 62 miles). This localized production significantly minimizes the carbon footprint, underscoring Oleatex's commitment to environmental responsibility.
Remarkably, olive leather production aligns with 11 out of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs), directly contributing to over 65% of these goals. This notable achievement underscores its substantial impact on promoting sustainable practices within various industries, primarily targeting the 9th, 12th, and 13th UNSDGs.

To prolong the use of your jacket made with next-generation materials using olive waste, please consider these care instructions.
PROTECT
Protect your jacket from excess moisture. If your jacket gets wet, pat it dry with a clean, absorbent cloth and allow it to air dry at room temperature. Avoid using heat sources like hairdryers or radiators, as they can damage the material.
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the color of the material to fade over time. Store your jacket in a cool, dark place when not in use.
Be cautious around sharp objects to prevent scratches or cuts on the material surface.
CLEAN
Wipe off any surface dirt or dust using a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn stains, use a mild soap or leather cleaner. Test it in an inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn't damage the material. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning agents, which may damage the material.
CONDITION
Use a conditioner formulated explicitly for faux or vegan leather to keep it supple and prevent it from drying out. Apply the conditioner sparingly and evenly, following the product instructions.
STORE
Hang your jacket on a padded hanger to maintain its shape. Avoid overloading your closet to prevent the jacket from getting crushed or misshapen. Periodically inspect your jacket for any signs of wear, loose stitching, or damage. Please address any issues promptly to prevent them from worsening.
WEAR
Avoid spraying perfume or applying cosmetics directly onto the jacket, as some chemicals may adversely affect the material.
