Case Study: Cyclica achieves UL 1497 biodegradability and compostability validation with UL Solutions

Cyclica validates OLEUM leather in 4 months with UL

Cyclica, a luxury leather supplier to high-end fashion brands, sought to substantiate biodegradability and compostability claims for its innovative OLEUM® leather product. The company needed a specific protocol to validate the product's biobased content and its end-of-life disposal methods. They partnered with UL Solutions to achieve this through an independent, science-based validation.

UL Solutions implemented its UL 1497 Environmental Claim Validation procedure, a four-month proprietary process. This provided third-party validation for the biodegradability and compostability of OLEUM® leather. The successful outcome allows Cyclica to confidently demonstrate its sustainability efforts to manufacturers and consumers, marking a major step in the company's commitment to the environment.
