Designing plant-based materials

Since 2015, we have been on a mission to design low-carbon materials from plants to replace all leather and plastics with plants for good, through von Holzhausen.

Developed plant-based alternatives

We've researched and perfected our plant-based materials while continuing to build upon them. These materials range form plant-based alternatives to leather, vegan leathers, and 100 percent plant-based topcoat technology, which can be used on anything from paper to fabric, paint, wood and beyond, disrupting traditional materials.

Created scalable material solutions

Through our two-pronged business model, we can experiment with our brand of vegan accessories while providing viable material solutions for enterprise companies at scale.

Uses upcycled plant waste

The company emphasizes vegan and cruelty-free production, utilizing upcycled plant waste to create its materials, including corn sugar, castor oil, and flaxseed oil for products like Liquidplant, which is fully biodegradable and free from animal components.

Certifications and standards

von Holzhausen commits to zero-waste manufacturing processes, evidenced by certifications such as Global Recycled Standard for recycled inputs and USDA Biobased for verified plant content, ensuring low environmental footprints through reduced water, energy, and land use.

Supply chain and labour

Central to its values are commitments to transparency in supply chains, ethical production with fair wages, and social equity, as demonstrated by its certification as a Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) for being majority women-owned and led.
