A synthetic leather is a layered material that includes a biodegradable layer, a backing layer, and an adhesive layer. The layered material is formed by bonding a first surface of the biodegradable layer to a first surface of the backing layer through the adhesive layer. In some embodiments, the biodegradable layer is made from a mixture of polyurethane (or other plastics such as polyvinyl chloride), a biodegradable additive, and in some cases, a colorant. The biodegradable additive in the mixture enhances biodegradability of polyurethane. In some embodiments, there is 1 to 2 wt % of the biodegradable additive in the synthetic leather. The backing layer is a layer of plastic fibers made from recycled plastic products. The plastic fibers can be PET, nylon, or acrylic fibers. A biodegradable coating may be formed on a second surface of the backing layer to further enhance biodegradability of the layered material.
