Does Recycled Leather Include Artificial Leather？

Recycled leather and artificial leather are different in definition. Artificial leather is fabricated on a woven fabric base or a non-woven fabric base, made by foaming or laminating processes such as pvc and PU of various formulas. It can be processed according to different strengths, Abrasion resistance, cold resistance, color, luster, patterns and other requirements are processed and made. It has the characteristics of a wide variety of colors, good waterproof performance, neat edges, high utilization rate and relatively low price compared to real leather.

Recycled leather is made of leather scraps and processed into a whole piece of leather.

But most of the artificial leather, its feel and elasticity can not achieve the effect of dermis; its longitudinal section, you can see fine air bubbles, cloth or surface film and dry artificial fibers. It is a very popular type of material from the early days to the present, and it is commonly used to make all kinds of leather products, or some genuine leather materials. Its increasingly advanced production technology is being widely used in the processing and production of two-layer leather.

Nowadays, artificial leather with characteristics that resemble real leather is available in production. Its surface technology and fibrous structure of the base material can almost achieve the effect of real leather, and its price is also comparable. But genuine leather and imitation leather (recycled leather and artificial leather) are incomparable: unique hygiene (natural pores and fibers) and durability.
