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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47854027145367,"sku":"9783031653674","price":12810.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783031653674.webp?v=1780038172","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/vegan-alternatives-for-leather-9783031653674","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
