Two tanneries in Shandong Province in eastern China have been told by the authorities that they must close by the end of 2013.

According to a notice issued by the ministry of industry and information technology, Zhengmao Leather and Paihuang Leather are among a number of companies across 14 industrial sectors that have to close because their production set-ups are “backward”.
