Is possible to produce faux leather that is better than animal one without any qualitative compromise? There is an actual producer of such material?

The beef industry is producing more hides than needed. Buying leather doesn’t cause any additional cow death. If you don’t, there’s just more cowhide that get in the landfill. You’re not even subsidizing the beef industry, they tend to pay to dispose of the hides even if those are going to be used for leather.
So no matter what are your beliefs on animal welfare, there are no reasons to avoid leather from cows.
It’s a pretty good product since it’s resistant, warm and the raw product has often a negative cost and the cost is negligible when it’s positive, so you only really need to pay for the transport, process and retail fee.
It’s different if you use fancy leather from wild animals. It’s best to avoid that if you’re concerned with animals welfare.
