Vegan leather substitutes do not rely on animal products such as animal skins or glues and thus contribute to animal welfare. Artificial leather – which is produced on the basis of petroleum – is a common vegan leather alternative. But the textile industry is also researching sustainable biological alternatives. Mushrooms and plant-based raw materials are already being used. Suitable plants for the production of leather alternatives include cactus and hemp and fruits such as mango, apple, cucumber and banana.
