Does Recycled Leather Include Artificial Leather?

The definitions of recycled leather and artificial leather are different. Artificial leather is made from foamed or coated PVC and Pu with different formulas on the textile cloth base or non-woven cloth base. It can be processed according to the requirements of different strength, wear resistance, cold resistance, color, luster and pattern. It has the characteristics of a wide variety of designs and colors, good waterproof performance, neat edges, high utilization rate and low price compared with leather.


Recycled leather is the use of leather scrap, after processing, into a whole piece of leather.
However, the handle and elasticity of most artificial leather can not reach the effect of leather; In its longitudinal section, you can see fine bubble holes, cloth base or surface film and dry man-made fibers. It is a very popular material from the early days until now. It is widely used to make various leather products or some leather materials. Its increasingly advanced manufacturing technology is being widely used in the processing of double skin.
Nowadays, the artificial leather with the characteristics very similar to leather is available for production. Its surface technology and the fiber structure of the base material almost reach the effect of leather, and its price is also the same. But leather and imitation leather (recycled leather and artificial leather) cannot be compared: Unique hygiene (natural pores and fibers) and durability.
