Our family was looking at buying a new car for our growing family. New cars emit a lot of VOCs, so we were looking for a natural leather option.
Found out that most new cars don't even have a real leather option anymore. The 2027 Telluride for example - even for their nearly 70k car -entirely synthetic.
Looks like we need to go back to the old days.

In the US alone, 120 million cowhides go to the landfill instead of being turned into leather.
Nearly 50% of global cowhides also get wasted.
This isn't a problem of sourcing, this is a problem of systems. We are incredibly wasteful.
Leather and natural materials can't be patented, and that's why Gates and Bezos are knee deep in the Lab Grown market. Don't fool yourself into thinking they're here to help humanity.
