Arda Biomaterials, turning spent brewery grain into leather-like alternatives, has teamed up with Beavertown Brewery for a new accessory line. The Beavertown X Arda collection debuts with a limited run of eight cardholders, featuring Beavertown’s signature skull and bone design. These pieces will be showcased at Beavertown’s pop-up at London’s Truman Brewery on Brick Lane.
Arda’s innovative material, New Grain, made from Beavertown’s spent grain, is a sustainable leather alternative available in a range of colors and patterns. It is a stylish and eco-friendly option.
"This partnership is a perfect example of how we can be fast-movers in supporting local supply chains and contributing to a circular economy, all while offering consumers unique products directly linked to their favourite breweries and distilleries, such as Beavertown," said Arda Biomaterials CTO TJ Mitchell.
