A North Carolina startup found a way to grow real leather from cow cells in a lab, a sustainable breakthrough that could cut emissions and eliminate slaughter in the $400 billion leather industry.
I’ve had them before. They are great. Leather is an amazing material for all sorts of stuff. I’ve sat on some amazing other sofas that I did not want to get up from, but that’s a lot of cows
It was an interesting and well made video, except for his insistence that leather’s structure is “intelligent”, when it’s actually evolutionarily refined over millions of years natural selection. He also went on to say that human engineers would have to be gods to mimic it. Granted this article hadn’t been published yet, and ironically the little leather key wrap he’s hawking at the end of the video looks like a great candidate for this lab grown leather.
