@@disturbed4ever2 Have you ever seen any piece of real leather that has actually served a purpose during it's life cycle (not a babied antique) that wasn't complete trash after 50 years? Leather absolutely does decompose and end up and does end up in landfills. Plus, there's a HUGELY wasteful process to actually get your leather (ecologic and economic). If we have plant-based or synthetic leathers that can be fully recycled, then "even if" the process to get it is dirty, at some point it becomes a renewable resource. There's no perfect method, but using thousand year old techniques and wearing animal skins as decoration sure as hell ain't it.

Most Vegan leather are made of the waste material you get when you extracted gas from cactus. So yes Vegan Leather can be Vinyl, PVC(Pleather), but most Vegan leather are made of partially decomposed plant material. That being said, most normal leather today is the result of a large meat production and the skin from a cow will instead simply go to waste if not used as leather. As long as we talk Vegetable leather, which though the name implies otherwise has little to do with plants other than some of the ingredients used to dye the leather, then there is no additional environmental consequences. Anything that concerns the cow's need for water and food(soya) are environmental consequences that will be present regardless of you use its skin to make leather or let it decompose in a landfill.

@@mayartist4315 What are you talking about. Cattle are reared for beef and to a lesser degree for dairy products. Steers reared for beef fetch $1500- $2000 a head at the market which when processed into meat cuts fetches up to $3000. The hide is sold to tanneries for abour $50-70 per hide, so you see it it only used if the animal goes to slaughter for beef. No beef consumption. no leather. During early covid, no cars/furniture etc were being built but we continued to eat beef, the result was 100,000's of hides rotting away in landfill. Just about every tannery in western countries has strict water pollution controls each having water treatment plants to return water in the same way they received it. Don't ask me about the Third World including China, maybe not so good there. Yes cattle belch and fart, but you need trucks, tractors, combones, balers, seed drills, etc to grow wheat/corn etc, they pollute the air too! Most areas where cattle are bred are unsuitable for crops as soil is poor with low rainfall, think of the high plains of Montana/Wyoming/Texas/Colorado and Australia/South Africa, that land is not good for much else. As for car companies selling Vegan leather, it is all produced using oil as the base product, whether it is a PVC/PU product, or a woven fabric. PR baloney!

They might be doing something called "CO2 compensation". This essentially means planting trees or other plants that capture CO2 through their photosynthesis and store it in their bodies until they die and decompose. This could technically cancel out the CO2 emitted during their production, but isn't sustainable in the long run since you'll constantly have to plant more and more trees and you'll eventually run out of room, especially if more companies start doing the same thing.

Leather good manufacturers are the reason the hides of various animals are not piled into huge waste which would be burned and effect the environment. We create beautiful products with hides - which makes the leather products sustainable. In the process we help in circular fashion. On the other hand "Vegan Leather" is actually plastic which will never be as sustainable as Genuine Leather. Using PU and calling it Vegan Leather just effects the image of Genuine Leather Products.

Please get informed! Nowadays there are so many more options than PVC- Really. You’re way behind. Search for videos on vegan leather and you’ll find great information about the different options that different brands are using. Many vegan leather items come from pineapple, apples, and mushrooms. They’re coming up with better options every day. Think for yourselves. Look into it!

MoxieGent, Don’t be lazy, search and learn like I did. Plenty of videos here on KZbin on vegan leather. Thanks for reading my comment.
