Eori® — Next-Generation Bio-Based Vegan Leather
Eori® is an Indian materials innovation company developing next-generation vegan leather designed to offer a more responsible alternative to both conventional leather and petroleum-based synthetic alternatives. With a focus on biomimicry, material science and renewable resources, Eori® develops leather-like materials with up to 100% bio-based content, engineered for premium aesthetics, functionality and real-world manufacturing applications.
At the heart of Eori®'s technology is the use of plant-derived materials, including cellulose and other bio-based inputs sourced from renewable and, where possible, waste-based resources. Rather than simply replacing animal leather with conventional plastic, Eori® takes a fundamentally different approach: recreating the structural characteristics and tactile experience of leather through bio-based material engineering.
The result is a versatile sheet material designed for applications across fashion, handbags, footwear, accessories, stationery, furniture, upholstery and automotive interiors. Eori® materials can be developed in different specifications, textures, colours, thicknesses and finishes to meet the requirements of individual products and manufacturing processes.
Performance is central to the Eori® philosophy. Sustainable materials can only achieve meaningful adoption when they perform in the real world. Eori® therefore focuses its R&D on properties such as tensile strength, flexibility, durability, surface performance, dimensional stability and overall usability. The objective is not to ask brands to compromise on product quality for sustainability, but to develop materials where sustainability and performance work together.
Eori® also takes a broader view of material sustainability. The company seeks to reduce dependence on fossil-derived inputs, utilize renewable and waste-derived resources, improve material efficiency and develop formulations with more responsible end-of-life pathways. Different Eori® formulations offer different levels of bio-based content and performance, allowing brands to select the material best suited to their specific application.
Manufactured in India and developed for global markets, Eori® works with brands, designers, manufacturers and product developers throughout the material adoption process—from sampling and prototyping to specification development and commercial production. Its approach is collaborative, helping partners identify the appropriate material for their product while supporting customization and application-specific development.
Eori®'s ambition extends beyond creating another vegan leather. The company is working to build a new category of high-performance, bio-based materials that can help transform the way products are designed and manufactured.
