The leather goods industry, celebrated for its rich heritage and timeless craftsmanship, remains a cornerstone of global fashion and utility. From luxury handbags to footwear, it thrives on consumer demand for quality and bespoke products. However, as sustainability takes center stage, emerging companies are reshaping the industry by embracing eco-friendly practices and innovative technologies. Leading this transformation is Eori Vegan Leather, a pioneer in plantbased vegan leather with zero plastic. By offering a sustainable alternative that retains the durability and aesthetic appeal of traditional leather, Eori Vegan Leather is redefining industry standards, advancing eco-conscious manufacturing while preserving the artistry and innovation intrinsic to leather goods.
Zero-Waste Manufacturing Process
Eori Vegan Leather has emerged as a revolutionary player in the synthetic leather industry, addressing the significant demand-supply gap with innovative solutions. Unlike traditional manufacturers, the firm not only developed cutting-edge technology but also the machinery required for large-scale production. The company’s pilot plant, operational now, boasts the capacity to produce 1 percent of India’s bovine leather, a groundbreaking achievement. By the end of 2025, the company aims to scale this capacity to 20 percent, a monumental leap that could boost India's raw leather exports significantly. Furthermore, Eori Vegan Leather has established robust backward linkages, sourcing nearly 95 percent of raw materials within 300 kilometers of its new plant, fostering a self-reliant and sustainable ecosystem to position India as a global leader in synthetic leather.
“At Eori Vegan Leather, we are leading the way in transforming the leather goods industry with our innovative plant-based vegan leather, which is 100 percent plastic free and uses bio-based ingredients. As sustainability becomes a priority, we provide an eco-friendly alternative that combines the durability and aesthetic appeal of traditional leather. Our commitment to sustainable manufacturing practices is setting new industry standards, offering a solution that preserves craftsmanship while meeting the growing demand for ethical, high-quality products”, speaks Manish Pareek, Founder & CEO, Eori Vegan Leather.
Global Shift
The company is spearheading a revolution in vegan leather manufacturing with a mission to bridge India’s 3 percent share in the global leather goods exports to levels comparable with China’s 30 percent. With a state-of-the-art facility producing 6 million square feet annually, Eori Vegan Leather is positioned as one of the world’s largest vegan leather manufacturers. The firm’s engineered material ensures seamless adoption for manufacturers, eliminating the challenges of traditional leather, such as uneven dimensions and high wastage.
The product is not only optimized for efficiency but also supports automation, reducing wastage from 20 percent to 2 percent. By offering a drop-in solution, the firm ensures effortless integration into existing production processes, empowering industries to embrace sustainability. With Europe and the U.S. leading demand for vegan leather, the company aims to make India a global leader in this ethical and eco-friendly innovation, driving exports, reducing dependency on animal leather, and creating countless jobs.
Eori Vegan Leather is unwavering in its commitment to sustainability, as demonstrated by deliberate decision to avoid the easier route of using plastic and harmful chemicals to ensure product viability
Eori Vegan Leather’s unique selling proposition lies in its highly sustainable and clean manufacturing process. Eschewing greenwashing, the company employs a dry manufacturing technique that reduces its water footprint to less than 10 percent of traditional leather production. This process primarily supports the cultivation of its 99.7 percent bio-based, plant-derived raw materials. With a zero-effluent discharge system, Eori Vegan Leather ensures that no toxic waste pollutes the environment, addressing one of the leather industry’s most pressing challenges.
By integrating recycled materials and agricultural waste, the company further minimizes its carbon footprint. Looking ahead, Eori Vegan Leather aims to achieve a carbon and waste footprint smaller than that of producing a cotton T-shirt within a year, demonstrating its unwavering commitment to innovation and a cleaner, greener future.
