Leather production is responsible for the death of many animals around the world every year. Indonesian innovators have finally come up with a way that could greatly help protect the natural environment. Here is the vegan Mylea leather that the new Pala x Mylea watch line is made from!
An Indonesian biotech startup MyCotech shocked the public with a very special watch. This one is made of a leather-like material Mylea, which is obtained right from porcini mushrooms.
Hour Pala x Mylea was designed in collaboration with an Indonesian company Pala Nusantara, which is engaged in the production of handmade wooden watches.
The fashion industry ranks among the 3 industries that contribute the most to h global warming of the Earth. Mycotech's vegan leather presents itself as a great answer in solving this problem. The material is considered to be sustainable and, at the same time, affordable. It should be possible with his help save the lives of millions of animals around the world, whose death is responsible for the production of wallets, handbags, shoes and other leather products.
At the same time, Mylea is supposed to help with reducing the amount of carbon dioxide emissions and utilization of agricultural waste. This is particularly welcome for Indonesia, which produces more than 120 million tons of agricultural waste every year, of which only 10 % is recycled.
If you are convinced by the project, you can support it on the website Kickstarter. The creators, however, Pala x Mylea watches in two sizes also offer travel guide, card wallet and purse.
