Enzyme technology CEO says the beamhouse is under threat in India
10/02/2016
Dr Ravindran told World Leather at the India International Leather Fair at the start of February that he believes the beamhouse is under severe pressure in India because of environmental pressures and because of an increasingly complex position regarding cattle slaughter there.
He said enzyme systems such as those that Caprienzymes has developed can minimise the effluent burden and replace chemicals that have “an undesirable environmental profile”. His company’s solutions address the need to give soaking, unharing, bating, and degreasing in the beamhouse a lower environmental impact.
