Material Dossier -- 2026

VEGEA®

A bio-content question is frequently answered with REACH compliance; the two are unrelated, since REACH concerns restricted substances rather than composition. Ask for each separately, and note that the grape residue is a minority of the sheet by weight.

Where This Material Works -- and Where It Must Not

Suitable For

Accessories and bag panels, particularly where a food-by-product provenance supports the product story.

Not Suitable For

Not for wet-exposed or high-flex positions.

Known Limits

Documented Constraints & Untested Conditions

REACH compliance is frequently offered in place of a bio-content figure. They answer different questions: REACH is about restricted substances, not composition. Ask for both separately.

No independent test record on file. Material Primer has not bench-tested this product. The figures above are the supplier’s own published specification. Treat them as a starting point for your own testing, not as verified performance.

Verification Boundary -- What This Page Does Not Claim

This dossier compiles the supplier's published specification, the stated scope of certificates held, and referenced standards. It does not represent independent laboratory testing, production batch monitoring, or transaction data. Suitability judgements derive from the documents above, not from bench tests.
