Those who eat cow won't oppose leather, so I don't see why there would be more unused disposed cow skin than prior. But on the question of what else could be done with it, I'm not sure. Are people more often opting for plastic/synthetic products owing to cost? There are lots of aesthetic and apparel applications for leather.

- kinghtown 4y agoThere is a slowly growing awareness in the public that eating meat is unnecessary for good health, perhaps even a negative. The strain on the environment for meat farming and transportation is massive so I am all for having plant-based options which fulfill and satisfy any need for animal products. If mushroom or plant leather turns out to be better, like cheaper or more durable etc., then there will be much less demand for traditional leather and the price for milk and beef will increase and make alternatives all the more attractive. I’m a vegan and this sort of stuff is a total win.
