Apple says that “leather has a significant carbon footprint” and this is enough to ditch leather. In my opinion they are only looking at one of the parameters of sustainability and not the whole; and maybe there is a hidden agenda behind it. For sure, the secondary market will quickly take advantage of using leather to fulfill the need for premium, long-lasting protection for phones and watches. Possibly here is the case that leather wins and Apple loses.
