"The industries of leather and alternatives are dynamic and innovative, with journeys worth to share"

– Matthea van Staden, co-founder

The objective of Foundation CirQleer

Companies, consumers, educational and governmental institutes feel the need of an independent research and knowledge centre for leather and leather alternatives.

CirQleer responds to this by gathering, developing and sharing knowledge about sustainability and circularity of leather, leather production and alternatives. With the ultimate goal to enlarge the sustainability and circularity of the supply chain and enhance the cooperation in the industry
