21/05/2015
Professor Bi Shi has been an influential figure in the leather industry globally, and particularly in China, for many years. He is a member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and a prominent academic in leather chemistry and engineering at the University of Sichuan. He is also a former president of IULTCS and was a member of the judging panel for the first Tannery of the Year competition in 2010.
Current IULTCS president, Dr Patricia Casey, said on making the announcement that Professor Bi Shi is a worthy recipient of the Merit Award for his work to help the leather industry reduce its environmental impact. He will receive the prize at the 2015 IULTCS Congress in Brazil in November.
Awarded every two years by the IULTCS executive committee, the Merit Award goes to an individual whose past or current endeavours have had “an extraordinary impact on our industry and provide an example for others to follow”.
