This new leather comes from plants like cactus or fruit waste. Samsung uses these materials instead of animal skin. The company wants to reduce environmental harm. Making traditional leather requires many resources and chemicals. Samsung’s plant-based version aims to be better for the planet.
The plant-based leather feels like real leather. Samsung says it is strong and durable. It protects phones just as well as other case materials. Customers will recognize the familiar look and feel. Samsung plans to use this material for cases first.
Samsung is always looking for new eco-friendly materials. The company believes sustainability matters. Using plant sources helps lower carbon emissions. This project is part of Samsung’s bigger environmental goals. The plant-based leather reflects the company’s commitment.
