Modern Meadow has partnered with leather leader Esbeco, which will operate as a buyer for the New Jersey-based firm’s BIO-VERA® sustainable alternative material.

“Given Modern Meadow’s capability to produce over 500,000 square meters per year of BIO-VERA^®, our partnership with Esbeco allows them to immediately meet growing commercial customer demand for a high-quality, animal-free and sustainable material alternative that simplifies existing supply chains,” said David Williamson, Modern Meadow’s CEO. “As Esbeco will utilize their own finishing facility to create custom finished hides using our biomaterial, they will have full control to quickly implement Bio-Vera for their discerning and environmentally conscious customers, as well as for their own collections.”
