The Environmental Challenge and the Role of Harmful Chemicals
The use of harmful chemicals in manufacturing and industry is a global environmental and health issue. Governments and health officials worldwide, including in Australia and New Zealand, have scientifically established comprehensive data about which chemicals pose a threat to us and our environment. With this knowledge, it's imperative that we act now to develop tested, reliable, and sustainable materials free from harmful chemicals for use in everyday commercial, industrial, and consumer products.
The Need for a Sustainable Supply Chain and Circular Economy
A critical aspect of this transition is ensuring a supply chain that consistently produces chemical-safe materials. Moreover, these materials must be recyclable and reusable at their end-of-life, contributing to the creation of new products that won't end up in landfill or harm the environment. Currently, the production of materials like leather and certain fabrics is unsustainable, as these materials cannot be recycled and are discarded as waste at their end-of-life. We must eliminate this linear economy, replacing it with a circular one, to prevent further damage to our planet.
Transition to a Sustainable Circular Economy
The Journey to a Sustainable Solution: Enviro Hide by EmTech
In our commitment to finding tangible, results-based solutions to global environmental challenges, our Research & Development team worked tirelessly to develop a commercially viable alternative to traditional materials. After nearly two years of research, extensive testing of safe manufacturing processes, detailed audits of manufacturing facilities, and in-house design and engineering of customised equipment, we have developed a unique circular economy material: Enviro Hide by EmTech. This innovative material, verified by independent, internationally recognised testing labs for composition, performance standards, and chemical analysis, is our answer to the worldwide problem.
The Benefits of Enviro Hide: Performance, Sustainability, and Reduced Water Usage
Enviro Hide by EmTech not only looks, feels, and performs like genuine leather, but it also meets all Australian Government Standards for harmful chemicals used in manufacturing, as verified by independent internationally recognised test labs LASRA & SGS.
