Shelley Houston founded KiwiLeather Innovations four years ago. Then, based in Papamoa, her son had been bringing home an abundance of waste or rejected kiwifruit from his work at one of the orchards.<\/p>\n<p>The kiwifruit leather is plant-based and plastic-free. She said many people had remarked that the alternative \u201csmells just like leather\u201d. Its durability means it can be used as a leather alternative. Houston said they were targeting the automotive sector, with companies like Tesla using cactus leather, and furniture manufacturers. \u201cThere\u2019s just not enough product out there, enough bio-materials for these companies to be able to create that sort of thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Houston has partnered with a number of packhouses that provided her with kiwifruit that they couldn\u2019t use. She said it was good to give growers more value while repurposing the byproduct. Houston said people could expect to see prototype products released over the next few months.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sunlive.co.nz\/news\/366511-kiwifruit-waste-turned-into-leather-.html\">Sun Live<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/1-719\/\">Kiwifruit waste turned into leather<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22,1],"tags":[616,575,18919,7285,655],"class_list":["post-140248","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","category-yleinen","tag-australia","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-kiwifruit-waste","tag-leather","tag-yleinen"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140248","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=140248"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140248\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=140248"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=140248"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=140248"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
