Global artificial fur market: Rise in popularity of fur made from recycled plastic

A wide variety of plastics are used to produce artificial fur as they provide the bulk required to imitate real fur but are lightweight than faux fur fabrics. When compared to alpaca fibers, plastic is easier to color and texture. Therefore, plastic faux fur can easily reproduce the colors and patterns of real animals. However, the use of polymeric materials for making artificial fur can lead to environmental issues. Polymers are non-biodegradable, and the extensive use of artificial fur can lead to a rise in pollution. Thus, there is an increase in demand for sustainable materials such as recycled plastic.

“Several producers of artificial fur are focusing on manufacturing fur from recycled plastic. Companies such as ECOPEL announced its plan to launch faux fur material made from recycled plastic. The company collects plastic from the ocean and transform it into artificial fur,” says a senior analyst at Technavio.
