Gezderi is collaborating with Maltepe Vocational High School to produce sustainable artificial leather using environmentally responsible materials. Students will design and sew handbags using recycled PET textiles. They’re sourced from plastic bottles collected by students along with BIOVYN™ PVC, the non-phthalate plasticiser Innoleics and the low-carbon blowing agent Alve-one by Solvay. Proceeds from the sales will fund scholarships for girls, promoting sustainability, education and empowerment.
