IN TODAY'S EPISODE WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUTSOME LEATHER ALTERNATIVES - STARTING WITH THE MOST COMMON ONES TO DISCUSSING SOME AMAZINGINNOVATIVE NEW TECHNOLOGIES TO PRODUCE VEGAN LEATHER. WHERE POSSIBLE, WE WILL ALSO LOOK AT SOMEEXAMPLES OF PRODUCTS AND WHERE TO SHOP THEM. THE FIRST ONE TO MENTION IS PVC.
PVC IS MADE OUT OF PLASTIC AND DOES NOT BIODEGRADE. FOR MANY YEARS THIS WAS THE PRIMARY GO TOFOR MANY MANUFACTURERS, HOWEVER AS IT PRODUCTION ARE CAUSING BIG ISSUES FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAND FOR HUMAN HEALTH, THERE HAS BEEN A DECLINE IN ITS USAGE.
GENERALLY, PRODUCTS OUT OF PVC ALSO HAVE ASHORTER LIFE SPAN AND OF NOT GREAT QUALITY. PU, POLYURETHANE IS AT THE MOMENT THE MOSTCOMMON MATERIAL USED AS FAUX LEATHER. IT WAS INVENTED BACK IN THE 1930S AND IT WASFIRST STARTED TO BE USED DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR TO REPLACE RUBBER, FROM AIRPLANEFINISHES TO RESISTANT CLOTHING. ITS PRODUCTION IS LESS HARMFUL FOR THE ENVIRONMENTTHAN PVC AS PVC CONTAINS CHLORINE. IT LOOKS AND FEELS LIKEVERY MUCH LIKE LEATHER. YOU WILL SEE PU TO BE USED IN MOST HIGH STREETRETAILER BRANDS. THERE ARE DIFFERENT WAYS TO PRODUCE PU ANDHENCE THE QUALITY CAN DIFFER AND ALSO IT’S IMPACTON THE ENVIRONMENT AS WELL.
A LOT OF VEGAN BRANDS ARETRYING TO USE PU PRODUCED IN A MORE ECO-FRIENDLY WAY. ANGELA ROI, VEGAN LUXURY BRAND USES EPUL,EXQUISITE PU LEATHER THAT IS A VERY HIGH QUALITY SYNTHETIC LEATHER, SOFT, STURDY.
NOAH VEGAN SHOES ARE USING MICROFIBRES, VERYSOFT POLYESTER FIBRES AS A MATERIAL. THEY ARE LONG-LASTING, WATERPROOF, BREATHABLEAND A MORE SUSTAINABLE OPTION. THEN WE HAVE RECYCLED PET PLASTIC WHICH ISRECYCLED PLASTIC BOTTLES ARE TURNED INTO LEATHER. WHICH IS MORE ECO-FRIENDLY - OF COURSE ITDOES USE ENERGY TO BE PRODUCED - BUT DEFINITELY A MORESUSTAINABLE AND USEFUL OPTION. FOR EXAMPLE, BEYOND SKIN VEGAN SHOE BRANDSTARTED TO USE THIS MATERIAL IN THEIR PRODUCTS.
SO WE TALKED ABOUT SYNTHETIC LEATHER OPTIONS,AND IF YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT IT’S ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT, YOU WILL BE HAPPY TO HEAR THAT THEREARE MORE NATURAL LEATHER TECHNOLOGIES AS WELL THAT ARE ON THE HORIZON AS WELL. SO FIRST OFF WE HAVE CORK - IS HARVESTED FROMCORK OAK, IT DOESN’T REQUIRE TO CUT THE TREE SO THE TREE CAN LIVE AND GROW FURTHER. IT IS CONSIDERED AN ECO-FRIENDLY ALTERNATIVETO LEATHER AND MORE AND MORE BRANDS ARE USING IT TO PRODUCE VEGAN LEATHER BAGS AND SHOES. IT IS VERYDURABLE, WATER RESISTANT AND BIO-DEGRADABLE. AS INWHERE YOU CAN SHOP THEM:: MATT & NAT HAS A CORKCOLLECTION. SYDNEY BROWN USES CORK FOR THEIRINSOLES. THERE ARE CORK LEATHER JACKETS MADE BY THEBRAND OVIDIE, AND IT HAS BEEN SEEN USED BY LARGE BRANDS LIKE LOUBOUTIN AND CHANEL. PINEAPPLE LEATHER IS A NEW LEATHER ALTERNATIVETHAT IS MADE OUT OF PINEAPPLE LEAVES. THESE LEAVES ARE THE PINEAPPLE INDUSTRY SOIT IS COMPLETELY MAKING USE OF THE BYPRODUCT THAT WOULD BE OTHERWISE THROWN AWAY.
IT IS A SUSTAINABLE OPTION, AND YOU CAN FINDPINEAPPLE LEATHER PRODUCTS USED BY BRANDS LIKE VEGETARIAN SHOES, EDUN, BBOHEME, NAEVEGAN SHOES.
