I thought the point of the stuff was to avoid killing animals.

    Yes. Plastic is actually a great material for anything you don't want to break down.

    If you want something that doesn't break down until you want it to, and then breaks down, you might be asking too much. I'm not even sure animal leather qualifies after the chemical tanning process.
