What Is Vegan Leather Made Of?

[@SzilviaBodi]

Thank you so much for watching! Let me know if you are also excited about some of these new technologies! Comment below! I hope to see the rise of these plant based leather alternatives soon in more places. xxx

Dear Szilvia, it is a very informative and enlightening video. I'm not from Leather ındustry or fashion, just saw it while searching smt else, but like it so much. Thank u for this nice video.

Very good explanation and introduction about vegan leather .

[@KimberlyCatoTransformed]

WOW ... this was excellent and extremely informative. I hadn't thought about the twist of causing harm to the environment when substituting for leather. Very well done!!!

[@SzilviaBodi]

Thank you so much for watching! I still think if we consider all the energy, land, resources going into producing leather and then dying leather, the synthetic leather alternatives are still the lesser of two evils. However, really happy to see some real eco-friendly solutions being developed.

[@katitadeb]

How does the technology to transform fruits and plants into leather work? Is it really sustainable? Does it have any impact on the environment? How much energy it requires? What kind of energy is used? And there are so many other questions I have about the producing process to call those vegan product eco friendly.

Great informative video. It's about time we found a use for all the waste plastic bottles!

Adidas has a vegan line of products which are made out of mushrooms. Vegan leather is made out of organic materials and some now are making it out of mangos (in the Netherlands) and cactus (in Mexico). The great thing about vegan leather is that it uses much less water to produce than real leather and it's definitely more eco-friendly.

Nicely described to make it easy to understand.....my very frst video to have introduction with vegan leather...thnks :-)

[@deeeshabhalla5795]

absolutely loved it. thank you for such an informative video. Working on a new project and came across your video, really helped me better understand the new ways we have now for vegan leather.

[@WeirdSide]

I heard some people make leather out of mushrooms

[@cool_cat007smoove3]

I heard it was made out of magic pixie dust.

[@chromebook1794]

Very well done, thanks. my only thing is if you are trying to be environmentally friendly just use real leather. it's a by-product of cows and what would it be used for otherwise. all these vegan alternatives must use a lot of energy and must be expencive. in sted of buying an expensive designer bag gut buy a nice designer bag that is made out of real leather and donate the money to an organization that plants trees, that would probably be your best option. I am not against vegans by absolutely no means but I don't really understand vegan leather.

I feel like it’s a lose lose situation sometimes

[@sandieseyller7872]

You're very knowledgeable about this topic, although it was very difficult to understand what you are saying. Thank-you again

[@jbtulsarn2706]

I didn’t have any problem understanding her. I had CC on too, they were in English. Try using CC, it really helps sometimes. 🤗

Fruit-based leathers and cork are not very mainstream and are thus still very expensive. So today, the great debate of two options: animal vs synthetic leather... it's a tough debate for sure. There is a third option with 2 sub options -- recycled synthetic leather. 1) old windshields upcycled to make synthetic leather, 2) recycled pre or post-consumer polyester mixed with recycled polyurethane to make synthetic leather. What do you and your viewers think about these? Also, there is a fourth option: recycled animal leather. It is composed of old scrap animal leather and post-consumer recycled polyester to make new material. Would you and your viewers agree that using recycled materials, whereby the recycled material composition is maximized, does more environmental cleanup overall?

[@jbtulsarn2706]

Many objections to real leather is the killing of the animal in the first place. Also the less then optimal conditions in which the animals are raised and housed. It’s an ethical emotional thing. I’m sure processing real leather is quite costly too. You’re better off using the whole hide, hair and all. Many designers are using whole hides. They are much more economical and less processing. You could make jackets, purses, upholstery accents etc. I’ve seem hide purses and they look nice.

[@Hattonbank]

The animals are not killed for their hide, they are killed for the meat The hide can be dumped in landfill or made into leather, better to use it than dump it so that it rots and gives off methane

The background music was terribly distracting.

Thanks sis! xxx

thanks amazing

[@cool_cat007smoove3]

It's plastics

[@viktorhamsik]

Cork as more sustainable? You got to be kidding me

[@mdammad9837]

Leather is a natural by-product of the meat industry. 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. There is no such thing as "Vegan Leather".

[@Hattonbank]

100% correct!

[@giloro85]

What is vegan leather? Plastic

[@katitadeb]

Plastic < Natural (leather)
