Material

Every Ante District product begins with a conscious choice-materials that are sustainable, high-performing, and rooted in innovation.

  • Lignin

    Lignin is a natural polymer that comprises approximately 30% of plant cell walls, providing plants with strength and structural integrity. Annually, around 100 million tons of lignin waste is generated worldwide. Lignify transforms this industrial byproduct into a high-quality, sustainable material, contributing to the circular economy.

Durable & Flexible

The unique lignin-based composition provides Lignify with exceptional strength and flexibility, making it suitable for various applications while maintaining structural integrity.

Water & Solvent Resistance

Lignify has a lower water absorption capacity compared to cellulose-based vegan leathers, minimizing the risk of degradation in humid environments and enhancing durability.

Antibacterial

As a natural polyphenolic polymer, lignin exhibits antimicrobial properties through direct contact with bacteria, offering hygienic advantages in everyday use.

Cellulose-Free

Lignify is the only plant-based material on the market that contains no cellulose, offering a unique composition that sets it apart from conventional alternatives.

UV Absorption

Lignin naturally coats plant cell walls, providing inherent UV protection. This characteristic allows Lignify to absorb harmful rays and protect against sun damage, extending the material's lifespan.
