Vegan Leather: Converting Marine Waste
Songmont has always been invested in exploring the close connection between mankind and nature, placing environmental protection at the heart of our growth strategies. When we see the oceans polluted by floating plastics and garbage, we must not stand by and allow this environmental disaster to continue.
Therefore, we use eco-friendly vegan leather made from marine waste in the making of our bags. It's a way to combine fashion with sustainability. Our vegan leather bags are not only stylish and durable, they are also a strong testament to our determination to mitigating marine pollution.
Marine waste is a growing environmental challenge that we cannot ignore. Most marine waste is plastic, which comes from various human activities. These non-degradable materials can persist in the oceans for hundreds or even thousands of years. These plastics also have the potential to entangle or be ingested by marine animals, destroying their habitats and even entering the human food chain, posing a threat to human health.
Songmont collects, sorts, cleans, shreds, and reshapes marine waste to generate our recycled vegan leather, which meets stringent international carbon emission standards and The Ocean Cleanup Plan. The vegan leather bags can often be repaired or recycled at the end of their useful life, further enhancing environmental friendliness and sustainability.
