the end of the animal-leather argument
— easily integrates into all plant-based formulas
of vegan bio-leather manufacturers without altering the production process
– Industrial tumbling machines
Applications
By incorporating this into the production of vegan leather, manufacturers create a product with technical characteristics indistinguishable from traditional animal leather.
Ultra-fine plant-based powder: 0.001–0.1 mm (1–100 μm) for seamless blending and deep integration into vegan leather compositions.
Our material is the only plant-based raw material proven to function in bioreactors for producing bacterial or bio-modified cellulose, enabling vegan leather to reach the performance standards required for FIFA-level applications. The presence of these natural components is the guarantee of success: walnut shell contains up to 60% cellulose and up to 30% lignin — the key factors behind its intrinsic strength and durability. The remaining fraction is made up of extractives and mineral ash, which further reinforce the stability of the structure.

The Role of Lignin in ORGANIC NANOCARBO™
Unlike in paper pulp or bioethanol production, where lignin is often considered an impurity, in advanced vegan leather and bio-composites lignin is a natural advantage. With 20–30% lignin content, walnut shell powder provides a crystalline framework that:
· strengthens tensile performance and durability,
· increases resistance to cracking and moisture,
· ensures long-term stability without synthetic nanofillers.
This natural balance of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin makes ORGANIC NANOCARBO™ uniquely suitable for high-performance materials, including vegan leather that can meet FIFA-level standards.
The Advantage of 60% Cellulose in ORGANIC NANOCARBO™
With a naturally high cellulose content of around 60%, walnut shell powder provides a stable growth medium for bacterial and modified cellulose. This crystalline fraction not only supports film formation and fiber reinforcement but also ensures efficient bonding with pigments. As a result, ORGANIC NANOCARBO™ enables scalable, high-performance vegan leather production without the need for synthetic additives.
🛡️ BIOLOGICAL STABILITY AND SHELF LIFE
ORGANIC NANOCARBO™ resists mold and microbial degradation during use, ensuring long-term stability and performance.
At the same time, the material is fully plant-based and can be responsibly disposed of through industrial composting programs.
Durable in use. Sustainable in the end.
• Fully dry — contains no moisture and no nutrient medium for microorganisms
• Requires no special storage conditions
• Can be stored for years without any visible changes
• Shelf life: unlimited

🟤 1. STANDARD PROCESSING (NO BOILING)
When the powder is added to the base plant compound without additional thermal activation:
This mode is ideal for formulations where dark tones are not required, e.g., for materials with “eco” or “raw” styling.
🌑 2. THERMAL ACTIVATION – COLOR ENHANCEMENT
When heated or boiled within the composition, natural pigment release is triggered — primarily from the endocarp and kernel membranes, which contain:
🧪 Iodine-based and phenolic compounds:
In addition, iodine and tannin compounds act as natural color fixatives, stabilizing the color throughout the mass and preventing washout or UV fading.
🎛 COLOR CONTROL BY MANUFACTURER
The manufacturer can choose the processing mode:
