Today, we’re diving into the truth behind the leather industry and exploring some incredible sustainable leather alternatives. Ready for an eye-opener?
Leather is often seen as a symbol of luxury and status. But the environmental impact of leather is significant. For example, producing just one kilogram of leather uses an astonishing 17,000 litres of water – that’s enough for one person’s water needs for an entire year!
But it doesn’t stop there. Leather production is a leading cause of deforestation, with huge areas of forest destroyed for cattle grazing and feed. Around 80% of deforestation in the Amazon is linked to livestock farming.
There’s also the pollution from the toxic chemicals used in leather tanning. These harmful substances can contaminate water sources, impacting aquatic life and human health. It’s clear that the cost of leather goes far beyond its price tag.
