CIRCUTEX: The leather alternative crafted by experts #2


Crafted for a circular economy, engineered for sustainable, future-ready automotive interiors

 

In the second chapter of our CIRCUTEX series, we take a closer look at the technology and vision behind BADER’s new vegan material: a high-performance, coated textile made from recycled PET flakes and post-industrial fibers.

Developed by BADER’s global design team, CIRCUTEX combines the aesthetics and durability of leather with a recycled, animal-free base — using the same advanced coating technologies, pigments, and surface treatments that define our traditional leather.

“CIRCUTEX isn’t just a sustainable option — it’s a performance material that reflects our legacy of precision and innovation,” says Alexandra Dittrich, Global Head of Design at BADER.

Circular by name, textile by nature
- CIRCU stands for circular economy
- TEX signals a genuine textile innovation — not a synthetic imitation

With up to 68% recycled content and zero PVC, CIRCUTEX is setting a new standard for environmentally conscious automotive interiors.

Available in two tailored versions:
- CIRCUTEX 88: 88% recycled content — soft, flexible, ideal for dynamic surfaces
- CIRCUTEX 100: 100% recycled content — firm, stable, perfect for defined design areas

The look and feel of leather. The responsibility of something new.

Stay tuned for Chapter 3, where we explore the creative possibilities CIRCUTEX unlocks for designers and OEMs.
