    Piñatex (Spanish pronunciation: [piɲaˈteks]) is the trade name for a non-biodegradable leather alternative made from cellulose fibres extracted from pineapple leaves, PLA (polylactic acid), and petroleum-based resin

    Still plastic, unfortunately.

    Cork is definitely a cleaner alternative, but I don’t know how durable it is in “leather” form.
