Recycled Cork Jackets

Future Humans' Vegan Leather Bomber Jacket Repurposes Waste Materials

— June 7, 2018 — Eco
Eco-friendly, sustainable, zero waste, these are all words that seem hollow but fit this Vegan Leather Bomber. Future Humans uses recycled cork to produce an impermeable exterior to the jacket that gives a feeling of real leather.

The UN has declared fast fashion an environmental emergency, as there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean by 2050. Future Humans uses the latest technologies to convert society’s waste into the future of clothing. By recycling plastic bottles, fishing nets and fabrics, Future Humans creates minimalist pieces that reduce existing contamination.

Future Humans produces its fabric with a laboratory in Portugal and does all the production in its hometown of Barcelona. The brand offers free shipping and returns so consumers can try on the jackets without problems.
