Okay yeah that's what I thought

Well maybe then you should read the op again bc it was very much about companies being like "oh we're so proud of using plastic instead of animal products 🥰" like they gave a single shit about it, bc no matter what plastic is STILL bad for the environment, and if they did gave a single shit they would use durable methods of tanning, make more durable products and work only with materials from organic and animal wellbeing focused farms, and makes it so it's still somehow affordable.

Corporations don't give a single shit about animals or environment and that was what the post was about, not about the consumer side of the problem.

companies will be like “we’re so proud we don’t make anything with feathers, leather or fur” and then make stuff out of synthetic materials that will not decompose but will shed micro-plastics with every wash like…..yas so good for the animals so animals rights

#google is you friend but so are reading comprehension skills #the only plastic based materials that i can accept as eco friendly are the 100% recycled ones #which exist i mean there's still the microplastic problem but at least it's not creating more plastic #you're right this is a capitalism and consumerism problem first but pls note that it wasn't what the post was about #btw 'natural' tanning methods can also have a bad impact locally if you don't follow safety protocols #using bio-produced poison to make a product rot-proof is still using poison #don't touch that shit‚ don't inhale it and don't fucking release the used water in the wild without filtering #bio poisons are easier to process than mineral ones but they're STILL poisons that's the whole fucking point of tanning #that being said they're still processable when a oak tree die the whole ground around it doesn't become toxic for ages #it's all a matter of proportions #but bio-tanned leather as a by-product of reasonable meat industry? should be good in theory #same with fur‚ and wool is sustainable and animal-friendly as long as we don't overconsume #'vegetal' leather is full bullshit tho it's plastic in disguise
