Life Cycle Assessment: Mycelium vs. Leather

This white paper examines the environmental impact of using mycelium-based materials as a sustainable alternative to traditional leather in Coach’s Relay Bag. The life cycle assessment (LCA) analyzes carbon footprint, water usage, and material end-of-life to compare the sustainability benefits of mycelium versus conventional leather. The findings were submitted to Coach leadership for review.
