Crude oil is the most popular "cruelty-free" material on the market.

"Vegan leather" is polyurethane or PVC. Both are plastic. Both are made from petroleum, the same barrel that gives you a carrier bag, spread thin and stamped with a grain pattern so it looks like the skin of an animal it is pretending to be above.

Greenpeace once called PVC the single most environmentally damaging plastic in production. It is now sold with a little leaf on the swing tag.

A PU bag peels and cracks and starts flaking off its fabric backing within about two years, at which point it goes to landfill and sits there for a few centuries, shedding microplastics the whole way down. Real leather, tanned properly, lasts fifteen years and then rots back into the ground like the animal it came from.

Surveys put it around three quarters of shoppers who have no idea the "leather" is plastic.

The best bit came from the industry's own scorecard. For years the fashion sustainability index rated synthetic "leather" as greener than the real thing, because it counted every cost of raising the cow and none of the cost of drilling the oil. It measured the animal's whole life and the plastic's from the factory gate. They paused it in 2022 once a newspaper noticed.

Real leather is a byproduct. The animal was already eaten. The hide was going spare.

They took the offcut of a meal, called it cruel, and sold you the oil slick instead.
