EvoHide™

Morbern introduces its exclusive Evohide™ technology which employs bio-based raw materials and recycled textiles to create sustainable coated fabrics.

“During the research and development period, we sought input from customers and end users around the globe, to understand both their expectations and requirements for a bio-based material,” said Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing, John Weaver.

EvoHide™ prioritizes the concerns of climate change, access to clean water and healthcare, resource efficiency, and sustainable production, shared by Morbern’s customers and the world at large.

Evohide™ is formulated with bio-attributed PVC resins, originating from agricultural and forestry biomass, and bio-based plasticizers derived from USA-sourced plant oils. Its 100-percent-recycled polyester fabric backing is made from used plastic water bottles. This produces up to 81 percent sustainable-content vegan leather, suitable for all indoor and outdoor upholstery. applications.

With EvoHide™,  Morbern is taking concrete actions to bolster critical science-based competencies. This includes enhancing the company’s proficiency in lifecycle assessment (LCA), circular design, and green chemistry.

Environmental Impact:

For every 100,000 yards of Evohide product created, 1,200,000 PET bottles are eliminated from the environment or diverted from landfill sites which reduces oil consumption by approximately 51 barrels​.
