Several alternatives to traditional animal-based leather have been introduced in the market as “vegan” leather, e.g. the pineapple skin leather Piñatex, mycelium (mushroom leather), apple leather, cactus leather, and PU/PVC faux leather. However, a clear assessment of the sustainability (e.g. carbon/water footprint, LCA) for these alternatives is missing. The aim of this book is to provide clarity and a coherent structural assessment of sustainable vegan or vegetarian alternatives of leather. This book contributes to the current research within sustainability and environmental impact, production, and consumption aspects of these materials. 0aBuilding materials. 0aEnvironment. 0aIndustries.14aWood, fabric, and textiles.24aEnvironmental Sciences.24aSector and Industry Studies.1 aRamchandani, Mukta.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303165364308iPrinted edition:z978303165366708iPrinted edition:z9783031653674 0aSustainable Textiles: Production, Processing, Manufacturing & Chemistry,x2662-711640uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-65365-0
