PETA, renowned for its commitment to animal welfare, annually acknowledges businesses that demonstrate exceptional efforts. In a notable shift away from traditional materials like cowhide and crocodile skin for watchbands, a significant stride has been made in 2022. Apple Inc., the global tech giant that sold a staggering 50 million smartwatches in the same year, has upheld its promise to eliminate leather from millions of watches, marking a transformative move towards cruelty-free alternatives.
