Les 'points Team' sont attribués selon l'adéquation de la solution avec le type d'innovations recherchées par Team for the Planet. Ils correspondent à l'analyse de plusieurs facteurs :

le potentiel d'impact : note moyenne d'impact > 4 => 0,5 point / si > 4,15 => 1 point.
la cohérence globale: toutes les notes moyennes des 6 critères de sélection > 2,5 => 1 point.
le coup de coeur: % d'évaluations qui juge l'innovation top pour agir à grande échelle contre les GES > 20% => 1 point
le ciblage: validation du périmètre d'intervention de Team supérieur à 90% => 0,5 point + niveau de maturité de l'inno suffisant => 0,5 point
l'acceptation sociale: score d'analyse sémantique des commentaires > 0 => 0,5 point/ si > 3500 => 1 point

At revoltech, we develop sustainable alternatives to animal and synthetic leather. The production of these two materials emits roughly 517 Mil. t of CO2 equivalents per year, nearly 1% of global emissions. Neither is fit for a circular economy, meaning that both can't be (truly) recycled or bio-degraded. Their global consumption represents a € 200 B+ annual market. Our first product, LOVR™, is USDA-certified 99% bio-based, completely plastic-free and reduces CO2e emissions by 98% compared to animal leather. It is leather-like in look and feel, which has allowed us to generate 50 paying customers to date. In addition, we have proven its industrial-scale production by producing over 20 tsd. m2 over six production runs with our manufacturing partner. By working with a partner instead of building new industrial-scale production lines, we gain access to the industrial scale without large capital requirements, stay flexible in our scale-up and can offer LOVR™ cheaper than animal leather from day 1. Over the next 10 years, our business plan aims at preventing the emission of 50 Mil. t of CO2e by replacing animal and synthetic leather in Fashion, Footwear, Interior and Automotive. In addition, LOVR™ is bio-degradable due to its 99% bio-based and 100% plastic-free composition, and it can be recycled back into the original production process. This allows for the production of ultra-low footprint, circular leather goods.

Quel est le problème résolu ?

See detailed description: Animal and synthetic leather are responsible for the emission of roughly 517 Mil. t of CO2 equivalents per year, nearly 1% of global emissions. Our industrial clients face a rise in regulation aimed at reducing CO2-emissions and promoting circular product design, which we enable with LOVR™.

Comment est-il résolu ?

See detailed description: LOVR™ reduces CO2e emissions by 98% compared to animal leather and by 73% compared to synthetic leather. It bio-degrades in 9 months where animal leather takes decades to break down and synthetic leather takes millenia. It is also recyclable back into the original production process - leather can be down-cycled to bonded leather once, synthetic leather can't be recycled at all due to its multi-layer, multi-material structure.

En quoi cette solution est-elle différente ?

LOVR™ solves the issues described above: It is leather-like in look and feel, it is produced on existing, industrial-scale machinery and it is completely plastic-free. Especially the leveraging of an existing industrial production process will allow us to win in the alternative leather space - by eliminating the "green premium" that many of our competitors have to charge.
