We Need to Talk About Leather, Plastic, and Greenwashing

Leather has a massive environmental cost, but “vegan leather” isn’t the clean solution it’s often marketed as. From livestock emissions and toxic tanning chemicals to plastic-based alternatives that never biodegrade, this video breaks down the real impact of leather, pleather, and plant-based options. We’ll look at what materials are actually available, where greenwashing happens, and what to watch out for if you want to make more sustainable fashion choices.
