Royce® Leather Establishes 100% Recycled Bonded Leather Collection

PRLog (Press Release) - Mar. 9, 2012 - The fiber content of Royce Bonded Leather is 100% recycled cowhide fibers. The fibers are naturally bonded together by latex, a renewable resource derived from Hevea trees without creating harm to the trees.

The leather fibers that comprise the Royce Bonded Leather products stem from the tannery process when cowhides are shaved on the suede side to their required thickness. The cowhide fibers, or “shavings”, would usually be sent to a landfill if they were not recycled for the purpose of creating bonded leather. Subsequently, Royce Bonded Leather is pre-consumer recycled leather that reinvigorates life to otherwise discarded leather fibers.

Approximately 80% of the total content of Royce Bonded Leather is genuine cowhide leather fiber, while the remaining 20% is composed of non-leather substances, primarily the natural latex and tanning oils, vegetable tannins, dyes, and leather finishes.

The result: a striking leather product featuring rich coloring, grain detail and the distinguished aroma of fine leather.  

We thank our customers and end consumers who use Royce Bonded Leather for sharing our firm commitment to making a positive impact on the environment.
