Being clear about the facts is vital in moving away from plastic. For instance, Leather is often classed as being superior because it’s natural and biodegradable. But accessories designer Anya Hindmarch, who was behind the iconic 2007 'I’m Not A Plastic Bag' tote, discovered that wasn’t always the case, and set out to develop a truly biodegradable leather handbag.

PlasticFree sat down with Hindmarch to learn more about her Return to Nature line. A line designed to disappear back into nature without leaving a trace. Discover the partnerships formed to make this happen, the hurdles that turned into opportunities and how sharing the knowledge is essential for fighting the climate crisis.
