HYER GOODS

by Dana Cohen

Hyer Goods is a brand that offers accessories made of leather and fabric sourced from deadstock materials and factory scraps. By upcycling ‚trash‘ Hyer Goods aims to eliminate the energy footprint needed to cultivate land, livestock, crops and fertilizers, while simultaneously reducing the amount of waste being sent to landfill.

As long as people are eating meat, Hyer Goods believes that it is more sustainable to use the by-products of meat consumption than to create new materials. Especially considering that leather is durable and ages well over time. If it ever ends up in a landfill, it is organic matter and will biodegrade in a reasonable amount of time. Hyer Goods cannot control all of the processes that the leathers go through, but all of them are tested for chrome VI after aging, ensuring the material is safe to wear.

Proofed values

„What if, instead of depleting resources to create new materials, we just used the ‚waste‘ out there to create beautiful things?“
