OLEATEX: Turning waste into a quality material

OLEATEX is an innovative and environmentally friendly alternative derived from biological waste from olive trees. This material transforms waste into a high-quality material.

This material is developed from waste from olive production and other agricultural by-products, specifically designed to be an alternative to leather and other materials of animal origin. It is a vegan material that responds to the growing demand for ecological products and follows the principles of the circular economy.

OLEATEX makes use of waste from one of the most common agricultural productions in the Mediterranean. During the olive oil production process, large quantities of biological waste are discarded and OLEATEX gives this waste a new use. This approach significantly reduces the environmental footprint by converting a by-product into a quality material.
