Is suede a renewable resource

Answer 1

Suede is made from animal hides, primarily from cows, goats, or pigs, which are byproducts of the meat industry. Therefore, while the hides themselves are not renewable, they are sourced from animals that are part of a renewable agricultural system. However, the sustainability of suede also depends on farming practices and the environmental impact of livestock production. So, while it can be considered a byproduct of a renewable resource, the overall sustainability is complex and varies based on specific practices.
