Project LUV Seat: Repurpose with Purpose

After a large-scale redesign of its cabins, Southwest Airlines was left with 43 acres of leather. As a global citizen committed to environmental sustainability, Southwest wanted to do something innovative with the used material. They are partnering with social enterprises in Kenya, Malawi, and the Untied States to upcylce the leather into new products.
