Reducing CO2 emissions, one material at a time. Using innovative materials in our products will be one of our key enablers to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Here are a few examples: ?? Mono-materials made from recycled polyester for the outer fabric of textile covers. ?? Bio-based materials leading to more than 45% reduction in CO2 emissions — compared to today’s synthetic leather.
