Bag bodies, accessories and footwear linings. Good surface consistency and a well-established colour range compared with most other plant-input sheets.
Not for products marketed on a majority-plant claim unless the supplier will state the percentage by weight in writing. Not for sustained wet abrasion.
Nopal cactus is the differentiating input, not the whole composition. The remainder is a polyurethane or bio-polyurethane system on a textile backing. This category sits at an early commercial stage and definitions across suppliers are not yet consistent, so compare specification sheets rather than marketing language — two sheets both described as cactus leather can differ substantially in plant content.

Radiocarbon testing measures where the carbon came from and nothing else: bio-based is not biodegradable, not compostable and not low-carbon. A sheet certified at 70% bio-based still leaves 30% unaccounted for, so ask what that fraction is.

A chemical safety certificate, not an environmental one — a virgin fossil-based PVC sheet can hold a valid one. Because certification is modular, check whether the certificate covers the finished article you are buying or only a yarn, trim or component of it.

Rests on a supplier declaration rather than an independent audit, and sets no requirement on chemistry, emissions, recycled or bio-based content — a virgin fossil-based PU sheet qualifies. Presenting it as a sustainability claim is a substantiation risk under the ECGT.
