VIRIDIS®

Viridis® was born from the desire of Panama Trimmings to innovate with new materials for a greener future. It is common to name sustainable any material that is not from animal origin, but it is not necessarily true that materials that do not contain substances of animal origin are eco friendly.
The name “viridis” has a Latin origin and literally means green, evoking the plant composition of the material. In a figurative sense, the term “viridis” indicates strength and vigor, representing the company’s continuous search for innovation.
Viridis® was developed to meet the growing demand for concrete ecological alternatives to leather. Viridis® is an innovative bio-based material, obtained from corn, wheat and viscose, reaching 69% bio content, as certified by the United States Department of Agriculture. This 100% animal free material is soft and the appearance is very similar to real leather. Initially developed to meet the demands of sustainable labels for clothing, Viridis® is now recognized as a raw material for the production of accessories such as bags, shoes, belts and over time has gained notoriety in other sectors as well. Given the multiple uses of the material, Viridis® has been OEKO-TEX certified, guaranteeing the health of consumers. As shown in the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) report, the production technology, developed specifically for Viridis®, uses biobased raw materials that have a very limited environmental impact compared to traditional ones. New finishes and special treatments are constantly added and a wide choice of colors will satisfy even the most critical of experts.
