The chief executive of footwear group Ecco, Panos Mytaros, has said that the company remains committed to producing and using leather.

He made the comments to our sister website leatherbiz. This followed an announcement that the group’s tanning division, Ecco Leather, which Mr Mytaros used to run, had entered into an agreement with a New York-based mycelium technology provider, Ecovative. The two companies announced on November 11 that they would work together to develop mycelium materials for use in a range of finished products.
