Ecco Leather will only use clean energy for Apple production

30/04/2019
Tanning group Ecco Leather is among the suppliers that have committed to running their production for Apple on 100% clean energy. A total of 44 of Apple’s suppliers have now made this commitment.

The consumer electronics brand announced this earlier in April. It is part of Apple’s Supplier Clean Energy Programme, through which it is aiming to reduce its carbon footprint.

Among the ways Ecco Leather has worked to reduce the environmental impact of its operations is by developing new technologies, such as its DriTan tanning process, which it has said can save 20 litres of water per hide.
