H&M mainly promotes environmentally friendly water-based leather (replaces organic solvents with water, no pollution in the production process, does not contain harmful chemicals such as DMF, zero VOC emissions, and green) to replace animal skins. By using this technology, it can be converted into nearly 33 billion square feet of leather every year for use in the fashion, furniture and automotive industries.

Starting from 2020, we need to upgrade to the concept of recycling, not just the material, but also How to design durable and recyclable clothes, and how to allow customers to practice more sustainable behavior. This is a comprehensive approach.”
