Some Numbers About UNCAGED INNOVATIONS
About (UNCAGED INNOVATIONS)
UNCAGED Innovations is a pioneering biotechnology company based in White Plains, New York, dedicated to transforming the leather industry through sustainable, animal-free materials. Founded in 2020 by CEO Stephanie Downs and biomedical engineer Dr. Xiaokun Wang, the company leverages its proprietary BioFuze technology to create durable, biodegradable materials that replicate the texture and performance of traditional leather.
Unlike conventional leather, which involves significant environmental and ethical concerns, UNCAGED's products are made from plant-based proteins derived from grains such as wheat, corn, soy, and rice. This innovative approach results in a material that emits 95% fewer greenhouse gases, uses 89% less water, and consumes 71% less energy compared to traditional leather production.
The company's flagship product, ELEVATE, is a customizable, plastic-free leather alternative that has garnered interest from major brands in the fashion and automotive industries. UNCAGED's commitment to sustainability and ethical practices positions it at the forefront of the movement towards more responsible material sourcing and production.
