Apple Leather, officially known as AppleSkin™ is a vegan leather alternative produced at FRUMAT, an innovative factory based in Italy.  AppleSkin™ is a bio-based material and utilizes the waste from the local fruit juice and apple sauce industry.  Once the juice has been extracted from the apples, the peels, stems and fibres are ground into a fine powder which is mixed with an organic pigment and transformed into Apple leather. 
Apple leather consists of up to 40% residual apple waste, the remaining material is a blend of polyester, PU, cotton and viscose, which is used to strengthen and support the apple waste.  This combination is currently essential to the strength and durability of the material.  The final result is a 100% vegan material.  Not only does it have a beautiful look and feel, it also becomes slightly darker and develops a light patina over time, just like real leather. 
The material is created as a by-product of the food industry and utilizes “waste” to create something new. This inherently has large environmental savings in resource consumption, land use and energy, in comparison to creating or harvesting a virgin material.  The repurposing of the peels keeps them from de-composting and producing methane that affects the climate.

For a Deep Disinfecting/Restoration Clean:  Mix one teaspoon of bleach with one quart of water to create a suitable disinfecting cleaning solution.  OR dampen a soft cloth with either lukewarm water on its own or the mixture above.  Dab the damp cloth into a bowl of normal table salt.  Use the cloth to really lift the grime taking advantage of the abrasive action of the salt.  Once clean, rinse in clean water and allow to dry naturally.

Handmade Seed Embedded Paper

The paper used to display the QR Code is handmade in Nepal by rural craftspeople in an environmentally friendly process with 50% recycled content.  The raw material in this paper is the  Daphne bush. It is farmed and harvested from 3-4 year old plants that are cut and stripped of bark.

recycled seed paper

The plant is not destroyed when cut down and it regenerates from the root.  The cane like stick, once the bark is removed, is dried and used to heat the villager's homes, as fuel for cooking and in the production of this paper.  All water used in the paper production is reclaimed and reused.  The bark is beaten by hand, boiled into pulp, mixed with recycled pulp & paper scrap collected from the card and envelope manufacturing process) then pored into screens to form sheets.  The sheets are then dried in the sun. The entire process is earth friendly and provides a community with a healthy enterprise.

You can choose to recycle this paper, compost it, or even plant it and watch flowers bloom. Each sheet is embedded with seeds that will grow in North America.  Seeds in the paper include 10 annual and perennial species which tolerate partial shade, need 4 hours a day of direct sunlight, and grow to about 3 feet.  Seeds include Snapdragon, Petunia, Beardtounge, Daisy, Thyme, Poppy, Foxglove, Catchfly, Maiden Pinks, Chamomile.  If you plant this paper in a pot or in your garden please cover with 1/8" of soil to keep it moist until established; as germinating seeds and seedlings cannot survive even a brief drought.

The Box is a Boox 

Booxes are made from corrugated polypropylene sheets, using a patent-  pending design. Produced in the US from a combination of new and post-consumer polypropylene (#5 on the recycled plastics chart – PCR). Boox has a goal to improve the post-consumer percentage over time, eventually getting to 100% PCR. They are also experimenting with material made from ocean plastics and other sources. Boox chose polypropylene (PP) for a variety of reasons - It’s waterproof, tear-proof, and lighter than cardboard, while still being rigid and durable enough to protect products during shipping.
Save the Rock Box - Box by Boox.eco
That means each Boox box can be reused many times before reaching the end of life. But, at end of life, PP can be processed back into more Booxes efficiently. Many people think of plastics as detrimental to the environment. Boox would like to encourage people to think differently about it - SINGLE-USE plastics (but really any single-use product) are bad for the environment and can end up in rivers and oceans where they don’t degrade for a long time. But, that same longevity can be put to great use if we can change the culture of consumption and shift towards the circular economy.
