According to the report, a biomedical engineer has discovered a method that can create real leather in a lab without necessitating the death of any animals. George Engelmayr is a biomedical engineer at Cultivated Biomaterials, and he claims to have made a breakthrough discovery.
The report also stated that they are the first company in the world to sell a cultivated leather product, growing a harmless cell leather from a cow
The report also said that the cow who donated her cells, named Angel, is still living in a sanctuary in New York. Angel's cells are placed on plant-like scaffolding in the Raleigh lab and grow into a sheet of skin.
Additionally, Engelmayr said that he uses tree bark over chemical tanning to make his leather pollution-free. The method, if popularized, could reduce the leather industry's waste and emissions by a significant amount. Until then, Engelmayr said he would continue making wallets and jewelry for his own company.
