Application of Artificial Leather Separation

What is Artificial Leather?

Artificial leather is a synthetic material typically composed of two core components: a surface coating (often polyurethane/PU or polyvinyl chloride/PVC) and an underlying base fabric (usually textile fibers). It is widely used as a substitute for natural leather due to its cost-effectiveness and versatility.

Application of Artificial Leather Separation

• Automotive Interior Recycling

Waste artificial leather from scrapped car seats, door panels, and armrests (composed of PU/PVC coatings and polyester/cotton base fabrics) is processed by hair-blowing machines. Separated PU/PVC particles are reused to produce low-cost plastic accessories (e.g., wire casings), while base fabric fibers are blended into recycled textiles for car floor mats.

• Furniture Waste Reutilization

  Discarded sofas, chairs, or cushion covers with artificial leather surfaces are treated via the "mechanical force + wind separation" process. Purified PU particles are used in foam production, and the base fabric is recycled into non-woven fabrics for furniture padding, reducing landfill waste.

• Apparel & Bag Recycling

  outdated artificial leather jackets, bags, or shoes are separated to recover PVC/PU and textile fibers. The coating particles can be processed into new artificial leather raw materials, and the fibers are spun into yarn for eco-friendly clothing or bag linings, promoting circular fashion.
