Leather has long been valued for its durability and elegance, but its environmental impact is controversial. Leather production is associated with ecological issues such as deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions, and water pollution. Cattle farming, from which most leather is derived, contributes to the deforestation of the Amazon, leading to biodiversity loss and soil erosion.
On the other hand, leather is a natural material that, with proper treatment, can be biodegradable and durable, making it more sustainable compared to some synthetic alternatives. Modern tanning methods, like vegetable tanning, reduce the use of harmful chemicals, minimizing the negative impact on the environment.
