Nylon 6, fossil fuel based, synthetic leather substrate
21.7
Description
Data are from the Eco-profiles of the European plastics industry (PlasticsEurope) and extrapolated to represent a global average production scenario. Technology represents production by different ways out of caprolactam. This process represents the production of the nylon substrate used in synthetic leather, and includes a .75 kg input. Additional .25 kg input from coating must also be applied.
