Deputy Editor Tom Hogarth speaks to Simona Tanning about its path to 100% waste recycling through ingenious partnerships, and learns how Qualus’ Sferes technology could change tanning forever.
Meanwhile, Technical Editor Karl Flowers delves into the trickiest areas of environmental impact in the leather industry from the need to phase out chlorinated pollutants to the hydrogen sources tanners should be using and avoiding.
Reporting from Simac Tanning Tech 2021 in Milan, Content Director Martin Ricker rounds up the best in machinery innovations from the leading manufacturers at the show, and discovers that the pandemic has done little to stop our industry from continuing to make drastic improvements to the systems we use.
Elsewhere, we examine the true meaning of corporate governance, tell you what went down at the Sustainable Leather Forum in Paris, reveal why Oeko-Tex saw some of its best results during the pandemic and much more.
In addition to these premium editorial features, the November/December 2021 edition also includes regular items such as the latest industry and product news, raw materials prices and trends and our Talking Point feature, where this time we ask leading leather professionals how they expect leather to change as a material.
