Abstract
Bucha Leather is made from renewable bacterial nanocellulose, one of nature’s fundamental building blocks. It’s found in nature, residing in trees, bacteria, and algae. Zimri realized the unique growing conditions of nanocellulose allow for layers of densely interconnected fibers to grow together, resulting in massive mats that can be dried and processed, creating a new and sustainable textile.
