Leather is usually made from animal hides from cows, sheep, pigs or goats. These leathers are welcomed by the market because of their comfortable and breathable characteristics. However, in this era of pursuing green development, a kind of artificial leather has begun to attract the attention of the public, and that is vegan leather - an environmentally friendly leather made from pure plants. Synthetic leather.
1. Cork leather
The raw material of cork bark is mainly the bark of cork oak trees from the Mediterranean.
The cork is left to dry for six months after harvest. Afterwards, it is boiled and steamed to give it extra elasticity and formed into chunks through heat and pressure. It can then be cut into thin layers to create a leather-like material, depending on the application.
2. Pineapple leather——Piñanext
Fiber extracted from pineapple leaves, a by-product of the fruit harvest.
After the pineapples are harvested, semi-automatic machines are used to extract the long fibers from the pineapple leaves. The fibers are washed and then dried naturally in the sun. Once dried, the fibers go through a purification process. The resulting material is a fuzzy fiber called PALF. PALF is blended with corn-based polylactic acid (PLA) and mechanically processed to create Piñafelt. Shipped from the Philippines to Spain or Italy for professional processing. For certain products or collections, Piñafelt uses GOT certified pigments and resin topcoats for coloring.
3. Cactus leather
Cactus leather mainly uses Nopal - a type of cactus that grows naturally in Mexico. It can grow without artificial intervention, without a drop of water, and has high productivity.
4. Mycelium (mushroom) leather
Mycelium – A natural fiber, mycelium is multicellular and can be used to mimic leather by producing a material with drape and mobility consistent with leather. The process of growing mycelium allows for customization. Designers can adjust thickness, strength, texture, flexibility and other properties to their needs, creating new leather materials that suit them. Making mycelium materials does not use a lot of water or occupy land. The materials can be obtained in a short time, and the leather produced is luxurious and durable.
--Plastic polyester fiber--
Stella McCartney collaborated with Adidas to launch ultraboost X Parley Sneaker. The shoe's fabric label says 100% Parley Ocean Plastic, a plastic polyester fiber made entirely from ocean trash.
There is also a series of Falabella Go bags, also made of 100% Aquafil ECONYL® yarn. It is also a regenerated nylon whose raw material comes from marine garbage.
--organic cotton--
Organic cotton should be the most well-known "environmentally friendly fabric". Its environmental benefits include eliminating the use of toxic and long-lasting chemicals, primarily in cotton cultivation. This reduces water pollution by 98% and helps mitigate climate change by improving the soil's ability to sequester carbon.
61% of the cotton used by Stella McCartney is certified organic, and organic cotton is used in all collections and products, including children's clothing, denim, knitwear, shirts, dresses, shoes and bags.
--Recycled wool and cashmere--
The negative impact of native cashmere on the environment is about 100 times that of wool. Overgrazing of goats is particularly damaging to the grassland environment. Stella McCartney stopped using virgin cashmere and replaced it with Re.Verso, a recycled cashmere made from cashmere waste in Italy.
