A deep dive into leather production & the global supply chain. We compare and contrast leather with pleather, also known as vegan leather, and uncover a multitude of environmental issues across the board, but particularly in pleather’s fossil fuel connections. Supply chain challenges. Chrome tanning. Polyvinyl chloride. Greenwashing. Caroline’s got opinions.
