Meanwhile Fashion brand Save the Duck has won Peta’s Company of the Year award. Save the Duck won the award for its commitment to respecting and protecting animals, using raw and recycled materials, and continually innovating its practices to meet the planet’s needs. All its products are animal and cruelty free. Not only has Save the Duck always been free of down, fur, and all other animal-derived materials, it also continues to push the boundary of what it means to be a sustainable company, constantly changing its product line to be more and more environmentally friendly. In addition, Save the Duck uses recycled plastic bottles, regenerated fishing nets and animal-free eco-fur in its designs.
