About Leather

Why Leather?

Because leather is a rich and sustainable product

Leather is a truly sustainable material as it’s dependent on the food industry. No animals are killed only for their skin and the transformation into leather is the best way to use those hides.

The leather industry develops solutions who combine beauty, comfort and long-lasting properties in order to create products such as shoes, belts, bags or clothes. With the right knowledge, tanneries can produce leathers with a wide variety of properties and looks.

Leather Reduces Waste

Tanneries recycle over 270 million cow hides each year. These are a by-product of the food industry and without the ability of the leather industry to transform them into leather, over 7 million tons would go to landfill with huge environmental impact. Leather makes a sustainable contribution to a society that needs to consume less, reuse more and recycle everything.

Leather is Long-Lasting

Good quality leathers last a long time and unlike synthetic materials, they actually look better with age. No need to be a shopaholic, just buy less, buy better, buy leather.

Leather is Repairable

Sustainability also deals with our capacity to care and/or repair what we own and, in this perspective, leather is an amazing solution. Leather goods can be easily maintained at home with basic tools and, when necessary, leather goods can be taken to skilled artisans to be repaired.

Leather is Recyclable

Leather trimmings from the manufacturing process can be recycled into composite products such as leatherboard. This way, leathers are having another life being transformed into insoles and heel which will be used in the footwear industry. In some cases, leathers can be biodegradable and reused as fertilizers.
