FAQ

The main raw materials of Bicoueros® are cellulose of plant origin found in waste materials such as fruit peels, or in the pruning of nearby plants and bacterial cellulose which is also an organic by-product, in this case industrial, of the production of kombucha, a probiotic drink made of tea and sugar.

The combination of celluloses of plant origin and a series of aggregates are processed by grinding and mixing with heat. Then they are molded until dry at room temperature or by very gentle heat for a few days. As soon as they are removed from the mold, these bioleathers are ready to be used for all the usual leather aspects: clothing, leather goods, footwear, interior design, car upholstery, etc. The pieces can be sewn, they can be glued, folded, assembled, and applied to accesories, closures like the leathers known up to now.

Bicoueros® bioleather production process uses small amounts of water and the energy involved in tempering the mixes is also minimal. For all this, the emission of carbon and other polluting gases in the environment are practically ruled out. The production process as a whole has a complete circularity since once the useful life of the product is over, it can be composted under normal environment conditions and turned into soil in approximately 90 days, giving rise to land suitable for growing the vegetables of the new cycle.

Having achieved waterproofing with non-polluting products and the combination of different polymers that give it elasticity, strength, tensile strength and better resistance to friction, which also improves its resistance to the passage of time and allows an infinite number of pleasant textures for human skin.

Biocueros® collaborates with companies, organizations, institutions and entrepeneurs who wish to scale innovative and sustainable production processes.

New problems require new solutions. Companies that produce textile and leather materials need solutions that adjust to our environmental reality, to an ethical conscience that takes into account the health of its workers and that of its consumers, as well as an awareness of our natural environment and the impacts that consumption entails.

If a textile company aims to be a good business, and considers the present as well as the coming generations, it cannot ignore these two points.

Biocueros® is a good business since it does not pollute, does not work with materials that are toxic to the skin or the environment, and does not use extractivist inputs. Biocueros® is a step beyond the vegan industry-- it is the biotech industry-- on a domestic scale: developed with domestic waste, bacterial cellulose, etc. and on a larger scale: using infrastructure that allows industrial organic waste to be processed.

Biocueros® is a good business even for the carbon emissions it saves any industry that today produces with animal leather and/or petroleum derivatives. Biocueros® stands out for its sustainable and innovative identity that also protects animals, humans and nature, transforming it into an excellent investment field.

Currently, the people that buy textile products are more aware of the problems of consumption and still do not find products that meet their demands. Being able to scale and bring this type of solution to market using Biocueros® is a good deal for your company or enterprise.
