How a French Factory Turns Wine Waste into Leather
In this episode of The Manufacturing Podcast, Lucas and Luna explore a French factory that transforms grape pomace—the skins, seeds, and stems left over from winemaking—into a leather-like material called Vegea. They discuss the scale of wine waste in France, the process of converting it into a durable textile, and how this innovation fits into the broader shift toward sustainable materials in fashion and automotive industries. The hosts also touch on the economics of bio-based leather alternatives and the challenges of scaling up from pilot to commercial production.
