HappiGreens · Collection Catalogue
Cactus
Plant Leather
Seventeen distinct surfaces for material discovery, sampling and considered product development.
Material overview
Biomass into material.
A cactus-derived composite developed with plant fibre and a polymer binder. HappiGreens helps buyers compare surfaces, request samples and coordinate sourcing with the material supplier. Every final construction should be assessed for its intended use.
- Material
- Cactus-biomass and plant-fibre composite with a polymeric binder. Supplier describes Nopal (Opuntia ficus-indica) and agricultural biomass inputs; exact formulation and cactus-derived percentage are not confirmed.
- Collection format
- 17 named surfaces. Catalogue-stated thickness 0.5–1.4 mm, width 1,400 mm and roll length 50–60 m. Confirm each finish and order.
- Backing
- Catalogue lists pure cotton; a separate supplier sheet describes recycled fabric or organic cotton options. Confirm backing for the chosen construction.
- Colour
- Customisable, subject to supplier sampling and availability. Screen photographs are references only.

Potential applications
Develop for the end use.
Footwear
Shoe uppers and sneaker components for evaluation. A separate black test sample showed flex resistance, but breathability and shoe-specific suitability require testing.
Fashion & apparel
Jackets and selected garments; evaluate drape, hand feel and care by thickness and backing.
Upholstery & furniture
Panels, cushions and seating concepts; abrasion, fire and application-specific tests remain to be confirmed.
Automotive interiors
Trim and concept applications only; no OEM approval or automotive-specific test evidence was supplied.
Lifestyle goods
Bags, sleeves and small goods for sampling and product development.
Technical dossier
Evidence, by tested sample.
The following results come from supplied laboratory reports. The tested samples are not identified as any of the named catalogue finishes; results must not be generalised across the collection.
Bio-based carbon
Beta Analytic report dated 11 May 2026; submitted plant-based leather sample, not identified as one of the 17 named finishes.
- ASTM D6866-24 Method B (AMS), TOC
- 85% biobased carbon as a fraction of total organic carbon in the tested sample (reported precision ±3 percentage points). This is not 85% material mass, a formulation breakdown, or proof of plastic-free content.
Chemical screening
TÜV Rheinland report 147093801, 12 August 2025; submitted teal sample. Results do not certify every finish.
- PVC — FTIR
- Absent in the tested sample; report also lists PU as absent for this component. These are sample-specific screening results.
- Azo dyes / cadmium
- Specified azo amines and cadmium not detected at the report's detection limits (azo amines 5 mg/kg; cadmium 10 mg/kg).
- Formaldehyde / phthalates
- Formaldehyde not detected (16 mg/kg limit); seven specified phthalates not detected (0.005% limit).
- pH
- 6.2 by ISO 3071:2020 on the submitted sample.
Physical and colour performance
TÜV Rheinland report 147175868, 9 March 2026; submitted black sample. Not tied to a named collection finish.
- Flex — SATRA TM 55
- No cracking at 100,000 dry cycles (along/across) and 50,000 wet cycles (along/across).
- Finish adhesion — SATRA TM 410
- Average 0.6 N/mm dry and 0.4 N/mm wet; top-coating adhesion failure noted in the report.
- Light and rubbing
- Lightfastness grade 4 (ISO 105 B02:2014 modified); dry and wet rubbing grade 4–5 (ISO 105 X12:2016).
- Water spotting
- No loss of lustre, swelling or cracking observed at 30 minutes; colour change grade 4–5 after 16 hours (ISO 105 E07:2010).
- Perspiration
- Acidic and alkaline colour change and staining grade 4–5 (ISO 105 E04:2013).
Supplier data sheet & material science
Composition and indicative properties.
The supplier describes a fibre-reinforced composite in which plant-derived cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin interact with a binder through hydrogen bonding, mechanical interlocking and curing. The information below is supplier-stated and is separate from the sample-specific laboratory results.
- Supplier TDS thickness
- 0.6–1.2 mm for the general properties sheet, versus 0.5–1.4 mm across the collection catalogue. Construction-specific selection must be confirmed.
- Indicative tensile / elongation
- Supplier TDS quotes 10–25 MPa tensile and 95–120% elongation for 0.6–1.2 mm material; sample identity and underlying test reports for these figures were not supplied.
- Indicative abrasion / other properties
- Supplier TDS cites >10,000–20,000 Martindale cycles, tear and UV resistance, water repellency and moderate-to-high breathability. Independent results for the named finishes were not supplied; do not treat these as verified specifications.
- Composite structure
- Supplier describes cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin from biomass with a polymer binder. It attributes flexibility and surface durability to the binder and fibre–polymer interface; this is a proposed material explanation, not a full disclosed formulation.
Important material note
Evaluate before specifying.
Results above are limited to the separately submitted samples named in their reports; the reports do not identify Petro, Onda or the other catalogue finishes. The source catalogue's 'zero plastic' claim conflicts with the need for a confirmed binder composition and is not repeated here. Claims in the supplier TDS about carbon and water savings, biodegradability, REACH compliance, automotive approval, lifespan and certifications were not substantiated by the supplied reports and are not made for this collection. The 85% result is a carbon-source measurement, not a biodegradability result. Request the full applicable reports, variant-specific composition, certification scope and physical samples before specifying a material or making product claims.
