This in turn is likely to boost the synthetic leather market.
Restrain
Environmental Effects of PU and PVC
Synthetic leather is made by using PVC (polyvinyl chloride), polyurethane, or polyamide microfiber. During the manufacturing of PVC synthetic leather, its main components are discharged into the air and become pollutants.
