Reborn Skin: the innovation that transforms leather from SCHMID!

From Schmid comes a revolution in the world of materials with Reborn Skin, a new standard of excellence that redefines sustainability and performance in the fashion and leather industries. In the era of Artificial Intelligence, innovation is not just about circuits and software; it extends to the creation of materials that are changing the face of the industry. Guided by a vision of a sustainable future, Schmid collaborated with engineers and chemists for over a year to develop an unprecedented material: Reborn Skin.

REBORN SKIN: REAL LEATHER, RENEWED!
Reborn Skin is the first material in the world that can truly be defined as “made of leather.” Created through a pioneering process of cold plasma sintering—known as “NTP Technology”—and mixed with plant-based thermoplastic elastomers, Reborn Skin originates from the waste products of Italian tanneries. These wastes, from both chemical and vegetable tanning processes, are micronized and transformed into a new generation of polymers, capable of being molded into fabrics and objects of exceptional quality.

THE ELEGANCE OF SUSTAINABILITY
This innovative biocomposite not only offers a quality comparable to real leather but exceeds every expectation in terms of resistance and adaptability. Thanks to advanced hot calendering technology, Reborn Skin is not just a material but an elegant fusion of authenticity and sustainability. Compared to so-called “eco-leather,” which is made from petroleum-derived plastics, Reborn Skin is biodegradable and utilizes up to 45% tannery waste, significantly reducing environmental impact. It is 100% recyclable for life, with CO2 storage up to 76.8%.

A NEW STANDARD OF PERFORMANCE
Reborn Skin goes beyond merely emulating natural leather; it is a milestone in the materials industry, thanks to its advanced properties: – Heat resistance up to 180°C- Fire resistance thanks to advanced nanotechnologies- Superior chemical resistance and long durability- UV resistance with sustainable nanotechnological additives- Optimal elasticity and breathability- No accumulation of static electricity on the material- Antimicrobial and antibacterial treatment for natural protection- Fragrance with plant-based fillers such as menthol and eucalyptus for long-lasting freshness

THE FUTURE IS HERE
This material not only elevates the fashion industry but also opens new horizons in accessory design, furniture, and automotive sectors. Certified according to strict LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) standards, Reborn Skin is the ideal choice for those seeking uncompromised quality and sustainability.

DISCOVER THE DIFFERENCE WITH REBORN SKIN
Investing in Reborn Skin is not just a step towards a greener future but also a commitment to excellence. Schmid continues to innovate, exploring new horizons like denim recycling, to ensure our world is more sustainable and beautiful, one step at a time.
