In the past, people used animal leather to keep out the cold and warmth for survival, and the natural selection of the fittest to survive. This is understandable, but humans no longer worry about survival issues in modern times but use animal leather for clothing. Because of human needs, The global leather industry has to slaughter more than 1 billion animals. What a terrifying number, just for the animal leather in the closet.
Fortunately, the number of people adopting a vegan culture has increased significantly due to the increasing awareness of animal cruelty and consumers’ increasing concerns about ethics and the environment. Due to this shift in consumer trends, fashion companies are vigorously looking for viable alternatives to animal-free leather.
Therefore, vegan leather came into being, the best substitute for animal leather.
Vegan leather is a material that imitates leather but is made of man-made or plant products instead of animal skins, such as cork, cactus, coffee, other fruit waste, and recycled plastic. Vegan leather does not require water to grow and is biodegradable, which is good for the environment and saves animals. In addition, cork is processed into leather without the use of harmful chemicals. This type of leather is the first choice for the fashion industry, leather products, furniture, and automotive industries.

Cork is mainly made from the bark of the cork oak (Quercus Suber), and the cork is harvested by removing the bark. The extraction method is 100% safe for trees, uncut, and its surface will not suffer any type of damage. The harvest is cycled every 9 to 10 years. The cork tree must be about 25 years old before the first extraction (raw cork), and then it takes 9 years to harvest. Fortunately, the lifespan of cork trees is 180/200 years and can be extracted 15/20 times.
Cork fabric has special characteristics,
Soft, warm surface
Sound and heat insulation
Very good indoor environmental conditions, thanks to the antibacterial and dust-proof surface quality and excellent moisture control-especially suitable for allergic people
Rugged and durable, even with minor damage, because they can barely see the natural structure of the material indoors
Easy to clean (dry)
Lightfast
Google opened its physical retail store in New York and chose Portuguese cork for decoration. Sofas, benches, and paintings made from one of the best-known Portuguese materials mark the first space of the American company, which has favoured the use of sustainable materials.
The Portuguese material is present in the store’s furniture in the “Big Apple”, which “presents a line of devices and services, which seek to provide interaction with the public that visits it,” said the Portuguese Cork Association (APCOR) in a statement.
The designer responsible for developing the أثاث من الفلين for this retail store was Daniel Michalik. “I truly believe that cork is a high-value material for the future of design and architecture,” argues the designer, quoted in a statement. “It has incredible characteristics and performance and, in addition, sustains an entire ecosystem, being a unique example that all materials should follow,” he stresses.
The MINI brand and the British master fashion designer Paul Smith once again joined forces to create a customized model-MINI STRIP. The customized MINI STRIP will also be exhibited in the MINI Pavilion at the 2021 International Automobile and Smart Mobility Expo (IAA). The pavilion was also jointly designed and built by MINI and Paul Smith. The MINI brand and Paul Smith are both British veteran design celebrities, and they are more like-minded in terms of innovation, sustainable development, and focusing on the future.
In addition to the minimalist geometric design inside the MINI STRIP, the reusable environmentally friendly materials also highlight the sustainable concept of the vehicle. The interior materials completely abandon leather and chrome, and the seats are made of knitted fabrics.
The dashboard cladding, door shoulders, and storage panels also present highly simplified geometric shapes and are made of reusable cork without any synthetic adhesives. The cork is firm and soft to the touch, which is refreshing. Because cork is recyclable, as a renewable raw material, it does not generate additional carbon dioxide during the production process, and it also helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, the through-hole structure of knitwear and cork itself can also improve the acoustic effect of the car.
