Restoration,
made tangible.
Invasive species are among the leading drivers of biodiversity loss. Inversa™ turns their removal into measurable environmental and economic impact.
Our commitment to responsible sourcing
- 01
Business Integrity
Integrity
Traceable from removal to material. CITES-compliant sourcing, a digital product passport for every hide, and full data access for partners and regulators.
- 02
Economic Impact & Social Responsibility
Community
Direct, fair compensation for frontline fishers and hunters. New restoration-based jobs that lift rural and developing economies.
- 03
Animal Welfare
Welfare
Humane handling trained and enforced on individual basis to AVMA guidelines. We source only officially designated invasive species.

Environmental Responsibility
Restoration
99.9% less land, 95% less water, and 89% fewer GHGs versus bovine leather, alongside active biodiversity recovery in the ecosystems we work in.
WWF Analysis
Highest Biodiversity Impact Analysis Framework (BIAF) score WWF Switzerland has recorded.
In 2025, WWF Switzerland analyzed Inversa Leathers using its Biodiversity Impact Assessment Framework (BIAF) to quantify Inversa’s net impact on biodiversity against business as usual. After a year-long evaluation, Inversa achieved a biodiversity impact range of 13.1–19.0 - the highest score WWF’s BIAF has recorded to date.
Previous BIAF case studies ranged from 0.1 to 3.0 across alternative foods, materials, agroforestry, and agricultural technologies, placing Inversa in a category of its own for measurable biodiversity restoration.

Pillar 04 · Environmental Responsibility
Environmental impact
Delivering land, water, and GHG benefits at scale.
Our provisional LCA* results indicate, when indexed against analogous bovine leather, Inversa™ Silverfin leather comparatively uses 99.9% less land, 95% less water, and emits 89% less GHGs.
*This research is weight-based to ensure more accurate and consistent results. For weight to size conversions: one square foot of Silverfin weighs 20 grams, while conventional bovine leather can range from 62 to 241 grams for the same area.
Pillar 04 · Environmental Responsibility
Biodiversity uplift
Inversa materials protect native biodiversity.
Unchecked invasive species are a driving force in ~60% of today’s species extinctions and cause $423B in annual damages around the planet.
Non-native species management restores indigenous species populations by up to 50-70% and enhances carbon sequestration and water purification, ultimately strengthening global environmental and human health.
