Natural leather or its substitutes?
Natural leather or its substitutes? Answering this question, the highest priority is to highlight its environmental friendliness! In open sources, there are many opinions that claim that the production of natural leather is evil, harm to living beings and the ecology in general! Is it so?
First, animal skins, which are used in the production of natural leather, are a by-product of the meat and dairy industries. Secondly, let's see what the statistics say about this ... Approximately 7,000,000 tons of cow skins per year are formed by human consumption of meat! Burning or dumping will have a huge negative impact on the environment, but the latest environmentally friendly technologies for processing animal skins can solve this problem!
Humanity goes in search of alternatives ... Will natural leather substitutes solve the ecological issue and how good are they in everyday life? The team of TRK Ukraine correspondents dealt with this issue, conducting research in the laboratory of the V-Center enterprise.
Main evaluation criteria:
Durability (what kind of load it can withstand)
Elasticity
Breathability (ability to breathe)
Let's see what happened:
Studies have shown that the use of items with natural leather substitutes have a negative impact on human health! Well, in the end, a little more statistics ... Natural code in the ground decomposes within 4 years! Its substitutes: artificial leather - 40 - 50 years, polyurethane - 100 years!
The conclusion is obvious! Natural leather and its production solve both environmental problems and issues related to the safe use of this material by humans!
