This isn't entirely true. In our culture we make a dried mango slice (আমসত্ব*) that very much looks like leather.

You think they dump mangoes like that on a waste dump? They would go to food industrie or feed animals (zoos and so on). Also its completly the same like plastic leather.

Well no... it's not in the name of profit, in fact the mango leather is the perfect case for repurposing your byproducts. It's in every companies best interest to do so as it will cost less than paying someone to dump it into a pit. The reason why food goes to waste isn't purely corporate greed, it's the long ass transportation time that would be necessary to transport it to somewhere more useful. That causes more pollution and is ironically more harmful than dumping it into a pit. If it was the easy solution everyone would be doing it. Sometimes waste is best, its not optimal but it's also not counterproductive.

As a leatherworker, I'm curious to try out some of these vegan options! I haven't yet, but this might very well go on my list. It's such a great way to throw away less food and waste. *However* there are a lot of things faux leather can't do that real leather can, like tooling and wet-shaping (I'll assume). Does it take dye? Oil and grease? Are they equally strong? Faux leather also isn't necessarily biodegradable. The leather industry is not all toxic chemicals like the narrator said; there's vegetable tanned leather, for instance. I don't think we will ever replace the leather industry, and I don't think that we should, but I think having more than one or two options for material will benefit everyone! I really hope that, in the future, in general, we (individuals as well as the companies) are not gonna shame each other for choosing different materials, but rather embrace all the options that we have ❤️

The woman they consulted with failed to mention that leather is largely *not* a byproduct industry (they often just use animal skins along with other parts that humans don't consume in things like pet foods), and the market for it creates a larger demand for more cows being killed for that purpose *specifically*. Also, plastic leather requires a MUCH smaller carbon footprint - water, waste, feed, land, etc. They underestimate that here. Also, some of the sources of the plastic (depending on the company) use recycled plastic, so that's actually very environmentally helpful. I think making leather out of recycled plastic is actually better than using mangoes in some ways because we need that plastic sitting in landfills to go somewhere, instead of the ocean, meanwhile those mangoes could be feeding people or animals.

If the mangoes are not rotten, they are still edible. They can be made into mango bars aka aamsotto, a very tasty snack popular in Indian subcontinent. When the season's almost over and there are some mangoes that look like they are not going to survive the stress of transportation and storing they are squeezed out, cooked with a little sugar and some spices and then spread out in layers under the sun or near the oven to dry. It's very tasty and you can eat it throughout the rest of the year, till the next summer, until you get a fresh batch. Food, unless it is rotten and totally unusable should be left for eating. Seems like a waste of all these still edible mangoes (food usually are still edible after the exp date).

1500 mangoes at the scale they're importing is not a waste, and they're certainly not sampling 1 per case. It's more that as batches are different (different harvest day, origin facility, processing plant) they need a sample. Also, 1 sample per batch is not good enough, statistically speaking, so they'll likely sample at least twice per batch. Source: am a importer of fresh fruits into Canada

To follow up on this, when done responsibly (avoiding wasting as much as possible, not over-importing and properly storing the goods), this sampling process will save food over the long run, as a contaminated batch could easily infect more food during its time in the supply chain. If you really want to save food, look at retailers who manage their supply chains inefficiently and over order perishable goods.

@@yinanwang2244 it would have to be more than 1500 . It wouldn't be worth making machines up to process a small amount. I suppose it's not going to waste as it makes great compost for the garden to.
