ABSTRACT
The manufacture of Mycelium Leather is a solution to meet the growing demand for animal skins in the fashion industry. Mycotech Lab Indonesia discovered a robust, sustainable, and eco-friendly leather material made from the Mycelium interlacing network. The company provides high-performance and sustainable materials through biotechnology to global markets by empowering local communities and aiming for sustainable product accessibility. The quality of Mycelium Leather (Mylea) consists of several grades from A to E, with leather sheets measuring 18 cm × 18 cm and 20 cm × 20 cm for sale. From the standardization of sizes, there are little pieces of leather left and categorized as waste. This company wants to reduce this waste and turn it into a profit by collaborating with writers. From the potential addition of existing waste, the results are in fashion accessories in the form of earrings that can increase the company's income. The results obtained from this study are steps to reduce Mycelium Leather waste from waste samples provided by Mycotech to become an earring that follows the current fashion trend. Observing several forms of leather accessories on the market and color trends on several trend forecast webs, this waste from Mycelium Leather has excellent potential to develop the Mycotech's business in the fashion accessories line.
