Faux leather has been praised for providing customers with vegan alternatives to animal leather.

Often derived from two plastic polymers, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyurethane (PU), faux leather is far from eco-conscious.

When they put their minds together, they realised that the answer was just before them.
