Yes, there are several non-petroleum-based vegan leather alternatives made from natural materials. Options include pineapple leather (Piñatex), apple leather, cork leather, and mushroom leather (mycelium), which utilize organic materials that are more sustainable and biodegradable compared to synthetic alternatives. These materials offer a range of textures and durability while minimizing environmental impact.
PU leather and vegan leather are similar but not exactly the same. PU leather, made from polyurethane, is a type of synthetic leather that mimics real leather while being more affordable and easier to maintain. Vegan leather, on the other hand, refers to any non-animal-based leather alternative, which can include materials like cork, rubber, or other synthetics, including PU. Therefore, while all PU leather can be considered vegan leather, not all vegan leather is PU leather.

People often mix up vegan and vegetarian. Vegan is when you do not use any products that killed animals. A vegan wouldn't have leather couches since they use animal hides, unless it was fake leather. To certain people vegan is the way to go, but to other's it's not. Some vegans won't even eat eggs since the way the chicken farms are operated. Since people need protein in their diets, vegan (in my opinion) isn't the way to go, because you can't just always eat eggs and tofu for your protein. (I'm sure there are other non meat foods that give you a lot of protein, I'm just not sure of them)
