Le Qara produces biodegradable leather from microorganisms, offering an eco-friendly alternative to animal leather that addresses environmental concerns in the fashion industry. The leather is made from living microorganisms, is biodegradable, and the production process generates no waste as residues can be used as liquid compost. The material is positioned as a high-end, versatile biotextile with softness and breathability similar to traditional leather. The startup won US$55,000 at the 100K LATAM competition in Argentina for its biodegradable leather solution. Le Qara is based in Peru and targets the fashion industry with its sustainable material.
