Biomaterials investigator Dan Widmaier explains how we could look to nature for sustainable replacements for these much-used materials and introduces a leather alternative made from mushrooms that looks…

One question. When is it going to be cheaper to buy than leather?

Cows have hundreds if not thousands of byproduct uses, leather being 1 of them. We don’t raise cattle only for the leather. The mushroom work is great, and we should continue to explore ways to produce the goods we need, but comparing mushrooms to cows is far worse than apples to oranges comparisons.

Handbag Manufacturer from Asia here. USD 30 per square foot is 6-10x more expensive than normal Italian leather. How will they replace leather with that kind of price?

This guy just throwing out key phrases/terms.
This sounds interesting but renewable energies require non-renewable materials used to make very specific bits of equipment that generally can’t be repaired and require massive energy input to make (wind farms and the electronics in it, once these break, they break).
Renewable materials, these materials are made from something and converting a material requires energy. The benefit to natural materials it’s using natural processes but wanting to scale this into large scale to replace leather….isn’t going to be sustainable.
Cows provide food as well as clothing. The resources needed to create factories and put energy into making these mushroom farms won’t be the saving grace this man thinks, and is leading others to think it is.
Save yourself 6 years. Don’t eat bugs.

It is a natural flow, the USDA l think or some group of equal clout recently stated the US should eat only three meat meals a week. If we followed that advice we would not need to kill the beast for food so much as In -not so much.

Imagine eating cultured meat wearing leather shoes. Now we need to get rid of mattress beds since sleeping bags, futons, hammocks, etc… give you more space when they “fold away”. Our entire house can be made of fast folding origami tables / doors.

Isn’t leather a byproduct tho? If we’re using livestock for their meat we may as well use the leather.

Very good— but Mister Nerd, sir, leather is just a byproduct of dead cows we bred for food.
Impossible Burger, Beyond Meat, Boca, and others have created fake meat that tastes good, but is ironically more expensive than real beef, and some or all of these fake meats are arguably not optimum nutrition.
The challenge, Mr. Nerd, is to take the next step and make slaughtering animals unnecessary, and also less expensive. It seems like it should be easy since growing cattle means creating bones, hooves, horns and other parts that are useful only to the cow.
Thank you for your efforts.
