China: CLIA launches water-saving ‘roadmap’
13/08/2014
At a meeting of tanners, chemists and academia in Chengdu, CLIA president Su Chaoying and deputy secretary general Chen Zhanguang said preserving energy and reducing emissions through innovation will be a key focus for the industry going forward.
Tanners are expected to collaborate with universities and chemical companies to create a framework for the industry that will be then adopted countrywide.
The government closed tanneries deemed too polluting, particularly in Hebei province, at the start of this year.
