As part of SS26 Shanghai Fashion Week, Leaf Bioâs CMO @itsjerryluo joined the M SPACE Co-Creation Talk co-presented by @mattter_official , discussing âFrom Innovation to Scale: How Collective Demand Shapes the Future of New Materials.â
The roundtable explored how collaboration, trust, and innovation can accelerate the adoption of plant-based materials, bridging the gap from lab breakthroughs to real-world applications. BioFleax⢠is part of that journey, shaping the future of sustainable fashion.

At the Global Fashion Summit in Copenhagen, we introduced BioFleax⢠â a 100% plant-based, recyclable polyester made from agricultural and textile waste. Designed for performance, made without oil.
Fashion today stands at a crossroads. Materials are more than aesthetic choices â they shape our environmental reality.
BioFleax⢠reflects our belief that fashion must LIVE BEYOND OILâ, moving away from fossil-based synthetics toward truly regenerative alternatives.
This yearâs theme, Barriers & Bridges, resonates deeply. We see innovation not as an endpoint, but as a bridge â one that connects design with responsibility, and ambition with action.
Thank you to all who stopped by and engaged in meaningful dialogue. The future of fashion is collaborative â and itâs already unfolding.

Hello, we are Leaf Bio.
We engineer fossil-free chemicals from renewable plants to build a more sustainable tomorrow. By upcycling agricultural and textile wasteâsuch as straw and discarded cottonâwe create 100% plant-based, recyclable alternatives to fossil-derived aromatics, including FDCA and our flagship material, BioFleax⢠(PEF).
BioFleax⢠(PEF), synthesized from FDCA, is a next-gen polymer that delivers high performance, full recyclability, and a premium user experienceâall while being entirely fossil-free. Its unique molecular structure not only reduces environmental impact, but also enhances the quality, comfort, and functionality consumers expect.
Partnering with global leaders in food & beverage, apparel, consumer electronics, and automotive, Leaf Bio is committed to reducing the environmental cost of petroleumâocean pollution, soil contamination, and carbon emissions.
Join us in designing a fossil-free future.
Live Beyond Oil.
