Ep. 134: Fabrics from orange and cacti waste
In this episode of WTiN’s Textile Innovation Podcast we speak with Stefano Mazzetti, co-founder and CEO at Ohoskin.
Ohoskin is an Italian company that has created painted fabrics created from orange and cactus byproducts in Sicily. Through a circular economy process, Ohoskin transforms waste into a luxurious, durable material that luxury brands seeking a high-quality, biological, and sustainable alternative to animal leather can use.
Mazzetti delves into and explains Ohoskin’s circular economy principle - giving new life and valorising the agricultural byproducts, turning them into a durable, recyclable premium material. He also touches upon the company’ consultancy project and how it enables other businesses to adopt Ohoskin’s principles.
We also touch upon why Ohoskin has selected orange and cactus byproducts as its main ingredients and speak through the company’s growth – moving from a start-up to a scaling small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME).
