Towards a circular leather value chain
In our current economy, we take resources from the Earth, make products from them and eventually throw most of these products away as waste. With the production of fashion items, footwear and car interiors, we should aim to use (and reuse) products as long as possible and reduce waste to a minimum. Material sourcing plays a vital role in this matter.
How can we, as chemical companies, tanneries, brands and consumers, take the next steps towards circularity? And what role does leather play in a circular economy in the footwear, fashion and automotive industry?
