Four fashion brands in South Korea have received official warnings for using misleading environmental claims to market synthetic leather products, according to reports in local media.

The country’s Fair Trade Commission (FTC) announced on May 15 that it had sanctioned Musinsa (Musinsa Standard), SHINSUNG TONGSANG (Topten), Eland World (Miso, Spao), and ITX Korea (Zara) for promoting products made with polyurethane and other petroleum-based materials as 'eco leather' or 'eco-friendly'.
