"Leather bags and shoes have an enormous environmental footprint. Cattle ranching is responsible for deforestation, biodiversity loss, and soil erosion around the world, and producing cow hides generates a lot of carbon."
"Most artificial leather is not much better. Many brands say they have 'vegan' or 'eco-friendly' alternatives to leather, but their products are basically made of plastic."
"Pangaia has launched a new tote bag that offers a glimpse at a better alternative. The GAIA bag is made of a new textile called Mirum, developed by NFW, made of rubber and other bio-based materials."
"At the end of its life, the GAIA bag is either recyclable or compostable. It marks a significant step away from the reliance on environmentally damaging leather and plastics."
