Leather Naturally writes on LinkedIn: It’s World Plastic Free Day! A moment to become more conscious about our plastic filled planet and embrace items that are purposefully designed not to contain plastic.

Microplastics are everywhere. Beyond the clothes and shoes we wear, they fill our oceans, coastlines, waterways and even the food we eat and the water we drink.

According to the New Scientist, micro and nano plastics could now be affecting carbon storage in the deep sea, with an inevitable knock on effect for marine life and ecosystems.

Researchers have further discovered that waste from the global apparel industry is leaking millions of tons of plastic into the environment too.

In terms of leather? Don’t be fooled by vegan leather as a planet positive alternative. Vegan or faux leather is a misleading marketing term that often describes an artificial mix of plant and plastic.
