Bio-based leather is a sustainable alternative to natural leather. According to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), “Vegan leather is often made from polyurethane, a polymer that can be made to order for any designer’s whim. It can also be made from innovative and sustainable materials such as pineapple leaves, cork, apple peels, other fruit waste, and recycled plastic”. They are majorly used in industries such as footwear, garments & accessories and others. Bio-based leather can be categorized into five, based on its source- mushroom, pineapple, cork, leftover fruits, others. Pineapples had a larger share in terms of value in 2020 as compared to mushroom and other sources. Pineapple is a perennial and abundantly grown fruit across the globe. It generates a lot of wastes which includes leaves, stem, pulps and skin. Pinatex is made by the waste from the pineapple harvesting process. The textile has leather-like qualities, but is slightly rougher, giving it a weathered vintage appeal that is well suited for watches, boots, and other accessories seeking a ‘hardy’ aesthetic.
