Desserto® develops cactus-based biomaterials as a sustainable alternative to traditional materials. Founded by Adrián López Velarde and Marte Cázarez, the brand produces a nopal cactus-based material designed for the fashion, design and automotive industries on an industrial scale. Its cultivation requires little water, helps restore degraded land and promotes biodiversity. The production process uses organic methods and solar drying, reducing energy consumption and waste. Desserto® ensures supply chain traceability and aims for carbon neutrality.
