leather is a toxic endeavor and also quite fatal for animals, but a new
alternative bio-based leather promises to be more environmentally friendly.
Richard Wool, a professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at the
University of Delaware has been working on an eco-leather alternative made from
natural fibers and oils. Flax or cotton is plant oils and laminated together in
layers to create a breathable, leather-like material. Companies like Puma,
Adidas and Nike are working with samples and with Wool to begin using the
product and offer more vegan options.
