Vivella PU: PU is a leather look material made from a combination of polyurethane and fibres. We can create PU promotional items in a range of over 60 attractive colours. We also have access to other grains and textures that can be used in conjunction with standard PU or on their own. Relative to PVC, PU is much kinder to the environment as it is free from harmful chlorides and is longer lasting. European sourcing and careful manufacture all help to reduce emissions and make the world a better place.
Recycled Leather: In common usage, recycled leather can refer to both ‘bonded leather’ and true ‘recycled leather’. Bonded leather is a mixture of the off cuts and waste leather, that come from the original hides from the factory. While recycled leather is a product made of leather that is has been destined to be re-used. Both forms of leather go through the same process of being shredded and re bonded. Both these forms of recycling leather are considered to make very green, non- toxic and non-hazardous promotional items.

Organic Leather: The organic leather that goes into the promotional products we use is supplied exclusively from Scandinavian farms using some of the best animal husbandry in Europe. The skins are tanned using only vegetable extracts and chemicals approved by the TUV. The production is strictly controlled, and the disposal of all effluent is monitored by the Swedish authorities.
All of our organic leather promotional items are supplied with an accredited certificate for you to show off. The other great feature of our organic leather is that it is non allergenic, so it can be used next to the skin.
Environmental Issues:
Aside from using recycled leather promotional products, leather in general is eco friendly in less obvious ways. Firstly the raw material of leather is considered a waste product of the meat industry. Those lovely leather hides are from cows that where destined to an early grave before any tanner set eyes on them anyway. Also recycled leather fibre contented combined with a tough Polyurethane finish make this material very hard wearing. Any product that is tough and durable like our quality leather promotional items will not need replacing in a hurry. Finally leather is natural product, and is thus biodegradable. Ashley Clarke
