Cork and fungus leather sounds absolutely sick. I hope fully plant-based leather catches on, because I haven't seen any anywhere.
From looking around, it looks like a lot of current plant stuff still tends to be mixed with polyurethane or coated with plastic 8i
(Polyurethane is, ...I don't think plastic. It's dense reading trying to figure out what exactly it is! But it seems to be mixed with plastic undisclosed sometimes? Regardless it doesn't seem great for me either...)
I'm glad that "the market" is moving further and further away from plastic as a whole in the past few years.
It sounds like there are some promising, but slow, developments in trying to make more pure plant leather.
(Would plant-leather be "planter?" "Planther?" /thonk.)
Ah, that sucks..
But I agree, it's encouraging to see the field grow and the options expand as people invent new materials (especially those made from waste from other industries!), even if they're not quite there yet..
That's going to bother me for days now lol
