Hide Biotech is a fast-growing company developing disruptive new bio-based materials to reduce the environmental impact of leather. The product is intended for brands that are seeking sustainable alternatives to leather, without compromising on quality and aesthetics. The company's proprietary material is cow-free, climate-friendly, non-plastic, waste-derived, and non-polluting. Being made of collagen, the protein that constitutes real leather, it is the closest substitute to cow leather and it retains its authentic feel. Hide Biotech was founded in 2020 by Yudi Ding and Niels Ramay and is based in Cambridge, England.
