GenPhoenix
Developing a new generation of materials for the next era of sustainability. Our patented technology platform is making material circularity possible at an epic scale. Formerly known as ELeather, GenPhoenix is inspired by the cyclical regeneration of the phoenix, as we give new life to leather waste by transforming it into a sustainable, recycled material. Gen Phoenix will continue our mission to usher in a new generation of materials for the next era of sustainability. Our new name also underscores our commitment to introduce environmentally-friendly, circular materials with unprecedented performance and scale to new customers in consumer luxury goods, footwear and automotive. We are proud of the reputation we have built as the leader in sustainable recycled leather for aviation, railway and bus customers and therefore ELeather will remain our product brand, serving the mass-transportation market.
