Support from CSIRO
For the development of sustainable leather, the company got support from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO).

The company utilizes green technology to replicate the intricate 3D network structure of animal leather using natural fibers.

The company states that the resultant material meets international quality standards for durability and appearance.

Alt. Leather’s team initially tested their material with a small extruder machine to ensure its viability. After successful trials, they progressed to larger extruders to assess the potential for mass production.

Through CSIRO’s Kick-Start program, Alt. Leather gained access to state-of-the-art facilities and expert guidance, allowing them to refine their production processes.

“The structured approach of Kick-Start allowed us to test our material in a real-world setting and confirm that it could be scaled up,” Funder told CSIRO.
