Sustainable Materials
Since 2010, Mabel has been active in the development and production of eco-sustainable materials derived from vegetable processing waste, serving the leather, footwear and paper industries. With the UPPEAL(TM) family, Mabel was among the first to envision a future driven by ecological innovation within its sector. Today all UPPEAL(TM) materials are produced by Coronet.
Durable Choice
Apple Powder
It is currently estimated that around 30,000 tons of apple waste are generated every year. If not recovered, this by-product results in significant waste management costs for processing companies.
Mabel reuses this material as a valuable industrial resource, transforming waste into a functional raw material.
A Green Choice
The carbon footprint of polyurethane (foam) is estimated at 5.28 kg CO₂ eq per kg of PU. Recovered vegetable waste, by comparison, has zero impact.
As a result, every kilogram of apple residuals used to replace polyurethane allows a saving of 5.28 kg of CO₂.
Material Performance
The technology developed by Mabel makes this material suitable for a wide range of applications, offering mechanical resistance comparable to conventional synthetic fabrics while enabling a more sustainable material composition.
