Made from durable microtwill, the material has a soft, suedelike feel. The FineWoven material was also designed with the earth in mind — it’s made from 68 percent post-consumer recycled content and significantly reduces carbon emissions compared to leather.
I’m guessing the main plastic issue isn’t coming from relatively small items that you keep using for years and rather from the infinite amount of packaging that we throw away daily. Not sure what the “ideal” material would be, but whatever it is, if it’s 70% recycled that’s probably a good start.
And post customer recycled sounds impressive too if its not just marketing wording, cause most ‘recycled’ plastics just recycle as part of the manufacturing process, but still create all new plastics
Laundry alone causes around half a million tonnes of plastic microfibres to be released into the ocean every year—the equivalent of almost three billion polyester shirts.
What’s the bet this’ll be some synthetic shit thatll shed micro plastics everywhere.
I‘m guessing it’s mostly recycled polyester? They only state it reduces carbon emissions:

That makes sense, I wasn’t sure why they called it that
You are probably right that industrial and packaging are probably major sources, but microfibers in clothes is a big problem too
