Low-value hides may go to waste
21/03/2017
In the latest edition of the Leather Pipeline report on March 21, there is even a suggestion that some hides could go to waste.
“With the focus on high-quality and high prices, the demand for larger yields and more natural leathers has constantly risen and can now be barely met,” the report says. “At the same time, low-quality raw materials have lost their market share and many hides have been left unused in factories around the globe. It is difficult to make a serious valuation of these materials but it appears unrealistic that they can be sold at cost price. They could simply be disposed of.”
