OUR
LOOKS GOOD, FEELS GOOD
EnviroLeather™ looks and feels like leather. When upholstered, it has a rich, well-tailored appearance and a soft, luxurious hand. Unlike vinyl, EnviroLeather™ is also designed to breathe and dissipate heat and sweat for greater comfort.
Our innovative designs and multitude of color palettes allow you to get the look you want. Great aesthetics, combined with environmental benefits and superior performance characteristics, make EnviroLeather™ the best choice for your upholstery fabric specifications.
EnviroLeather™ by LDI is a pioneer in developing and producing eco-friendly faux leather. Our mission is to design products that are more sustainable and reduce exposure to chemical toxins.
The company was founded by chemists and textile engineers, so we have a unique understanding of materials and their environmental and performance impacts. EnviroLeather™ invests heavily in Research & Development and Quality Control. We develop our own exclusive formulations and control the manufacture of each production lot with rigorous testing to ensure superior performance in heavy-duty commercial use in Healthcare, Higher Education, Hospitality and Corporate spaces.
EnviroLeather™ has gained a great reputation for combining environmental and health safety benefits with innovative design, outstanding durability, superior chemical resistance and a soft, luxurious feel.
WHO WE ARE
CALIFORNIA
GREAT PERFORMANCE
Not only is EnviroLeather™ elegantly designed, it is also engineered for heavy-duty commercial use. Our high quality materials give superior resistance to abrasion / edge scratching and will withstand repeated use of harsh chemical cleaners.
Our TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) formula has elastic properties, so it has great wrinkle recovery and gives upholstered furniture a tight, tailored look.
EnviroLeather™ is also designed for the long haul, with excellent hydrolytic stability and fade resistance. Everything is backed by a five - year warranty.

ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES
EnviroLeather™ has launched a unique, patent-pending, hybrid digital printing technology that is an industry-first in making short-run, exclusive prints on faux leather practical and affordable. This breakthrough technology allows for great design flexibility with dozens of colors and subtle color gradients within each pattern.
EnviroLeather™ prints use more eco-friendly materials by replacing harmful solvents with water - based systems. In addition, the process is more sustainable, with much lower energy consumption and waste.

PETITE FLORET
VINYL (PVC)Vinyls are made with PVC, plasticizers and toxic additives that have been linked to serious environmental and health
hazards.
TRADITIONAL POLYURETHANES (PU)Polyurethanes are PVC-Free, but many of them still have
toxic additives and residual solvents that contribute to poor indoor air quality. Also, some PUs have performance issues
such as wrinkling on furniture after extended use, poor scratch / abrasion resistance on edges, and problems with
alcohol resistance.
LEATHERSThe process for making leather out of animal hides uses very toxic chemicals. There are several studies linking increased
occurrences of lung, pancreatic, kidney, skin, nasal and other cancers to people who work in, or live near, leather
tanneries.
WOVEN FABRICWoven fabrics have irregular surfaces that can trap dirt and
microbes and are more difficult to keep clean. They are also not impervious to fluids and can have durability issues. In order to solve these problems, many upholstery fabrics
are finished with a perfluorochemical (PFC) treatment. The problem is that PFC’s are toxic. Studies show they impair child development and are suspected carcinogens. They also bio-accumulate and have been found in polar bear,
dolphin and human blood.
