What we do
Leap® is upcycled apple waste turned into a plant-based leather alternative.
It's easier to use leftover apples
Leap® is a plant-based leather alternative with every quality of traditional leather but more beautiful.
Born by upcycling apple waste discarded in cider production, Leap® naturally saves time, energy and resources.
Our roadmap will show how we at Beyond Leather see a future made of food waste.
Today Leap® uses 84% bio-based ingredients, tomorrow we're working towards 100%, because the future of leather alternative is plant-based.

Our story
Leap® is created by Beyond Leather based in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Inspired by the challenge to turn leather-making into a sustainable practice, we discovered the beauty in apple waste. We work closely with our partners and listen to them carefully. We apply their input to develop the Leap® look, feel and performance, and to design an end-of-life solution that works best for them and the environment too.
We believe a fresh start and close communication is the only way forward in leather making.
