Adidas Developing Plant Leather

Adidas Adidas is developing a plant-based leather material that will be used to make shoes.

The material, which Adidas is working on with partners, will be made from mycelium, which is part of a fungus.

The new material is one of several sustainability initiatives Adidas has in the works.

The company said it produced 15 million pairs of shoes in 2020 that were made from recycled plastic waste collected from beaches and coastal regions.
