Leather’s carbon footprint
Following the recent success as the EU has approved the Leather PEFCR (Leather Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules) put forward by Cotance, ILM looks closely at the carbon footprint of leather and ask if the playing field is level compared with other materials that compete with genuine leather?
Returning to the automotive theme, we also take a look at the technical issues relating to flesh binding.
