Cork has a similar texture to leather, and does not require trees to be chopped down. The bark is simply stripped from trees in the Mediterranean every nine years.
Keeping the cork industry alive (in a world of plastic wine corks) is important, as it stops forests being chopped down for industry, which in turn keeps forests protected, for local wildlife to feed and shelter.
Why choose a vegan leather belt?
Most leather is not a by-product of meat, and often made in the far east, where animal welfare laws are lax. And the tanning process is highly polluting to the planet, and can be cancerous for workers.
Donate unwanted belts to small charity shops (that don’t test on animals). Frayed or stained ones can be deposited in textile banks (materials are shredded to make insulation and other industrial goods).
