Which is better, water-based PU leather or genuine leather?
One of the most destructive myths in the fashion world is that "genuine leather is just a byproduct; if it's not used, it will be discarded, so we are making use of waste." Many people hold on to this idea as a reasonable explanation for the unfortunate fate of cows, sheep, and even endangered animals.
Regarding this issue, here is a factual case.
One of the most destructive myths in the fashion world is that "genuine leather is merely a byproduct; if not used, it would be discarded, so we are making use of waste." Many people cling to this idea as a reasonable explanation for the unfortunate fate of cows, sheep, and even endangered animals. Unfortunately, this is not the case. The demand for leather has long exceeded the amount of leather obtained as a byproduct of meat production. In some cases, the order should be reversed: "Genuine leather is not a byproduct of meat; meat is a byproduct of leather." With the rise of calls for "anti-fur" and "cruelty-free," the concept of responsible consumption is becoming increasingly ingrained. More and more brands and companies are abandoning leather and fur, opting for alternative materials.
Water-based PU leather and water-based microfiber synthetic leather, made from water-based polyurethane (PU), are the latest technological products with high physical performance and strict chemical standards. They boast high tear strength and tensile strength; excellent folding resistance, wear resistance, cold resistance, and mildew resistance; the finished product is thick, textured, and highly realistic; and are free of DMF and VOCs (volatile organic compounds). This reduces pollution from the source, improves resource utilization efficiency, reduces resource consumption, and reduces or eliminates safety risks and hazards to human health and the environment. Its non-toxic, harmless, green, and environmentally friendly product characteristics fully meet the import standards for artificial leather and synthetic leather in developed countries such as Europe and the United States.
Regarding the question of "Is water-based synthetic leather better than genuine leather?", I believe everyone has already formed their own answer. Fashion ≠ Genuine Leather; fashion should follow the path of sustainable global development.
