Cactus Vegan Leather

Cactus Vegan Leather
Mar-08-20
If you love the look and feel of leather, but hate the process and unsustainability of animal leather, then cactus leather may be the answer for you.

Two Mexican entrepreneurs spent two years researching and developing the process of cutting, cleaning, mashing and drying the cactus leaves into a product that can be shaped into any texture and can be used to make purses, shoes and car seats.

The cactus fabric is called Desserto and is breathable, partially biodegradable, doesn't stain and should last about 10 years.

Excellent. I have had been involved in the research and promotion of SPINELESS OPUNTIA(CACTUS).Cactus is a CAM Plant. Crassulacean acid metabolism, also known as CAM photosynthesis, is a carbon fixation pathway that evolved in some plants as an adaptation to arid conditions. In a plant using full CAM, the stomata in the leaves remain shut during the day to reduce evapotranspiration, but open at night to collect carbon dioxide (CO2). Cactus is of care free growth and regenerative. 40 by products can be obtained from this. In vast waste lands especially in developing countries,cactus and another CAM Plant Sisal Agave(10 by products) can be grown on massive scale which will act as CARBON SINK.

Prickly pear cactus is a plant. It is part of the diet in Mexican and Mexican-American cultures. Only the young plant is eaten; older plants are too tough. Prickly pear cactus is also used for medicine.
Prickly pear cactus is used for type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity, alcohol hangover, colitis, diarrhea, and benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). It is also used to fight viral infections.
In foods, the prickly pear juice is used in jellies and candies.
• Diabetes. Single doses of prickly pear cactus can decrease blood sugar levels by 17% to 46% in some people. However, it is not known if extended daily use can consistently lower blood sugar levels. The broiled stems of one prickly pear cactus species (Opuntia streptacantha) seem to lower blood sugar levels in people who have type 2 diabetes. However, raw or crude stems of this species do not seem to work. Other prickly pear cactus species don't seem to work either.
• Hangover. Taking prickly pear cactus before drinking alcohol might reduce some symptoms of hangover the next day. It seems to significantly reduce nausea, anorexia, and dry mouth. However, it does not seem to reduce other hangover symptoms such as headache, dizziness, diarrhea, or soreness.
