The journey of Leap started in Denmark as a university project in 2017 with the idea of finding value in the untapped treasures of apple waste from juice and cider production.
A team of internationals was hooked by the idea and turned the project into the company known today as Beyond Leather Materials with a clear mission to Make Waste Beautiful.
We craft Leap by uncovering strengths that others overlook—what some see as waste, we transform into something entirely new and valuable.The commitment to innovation drives us to turn upcycled apple waste into our premium, next-gen material Leap (as leftover apples) which challenges the norms of today’s material world.
But we don’t stop here. By consistently offering innovative materials made with waste, we are setting new industry standards and redefining what’s possible when waste becomes the foundation.
Our vision is to offer an ultimate alternative to traditional and synthetic leather wherever it is used today. We prioritize transparency in every aspect of our supply chain, meaning that our partners have complete visibility into the ingredients we use and the processes we follow. No hidden facts, only shared commitment and strong collaboration. Simply put, our journey is - and will always be - a shared one.
At Beyond Leather, we believe in more than just transactions—we believe in close partnerships. We don’t just see you as a customer; you're our partner. That’s why we invite you to reach out, call, or meet with us to discover firsthand how we make waste beautiful, elevating your product designs. Together, we can support your sustainability journey at every stage of our collaboration—from prototyping to the final storytelling about your beautiful products crafted with Leap. Your success is our success.
