Out now: new issue of World Leather
The June-July issue of World Leather, the latest in this, the magazine’s thirty-fifth year, is now available to read in electronic format at this link on the leatherbiz website. Print copies will go into distribution in the coming days.
In the magazine this time, we provide detailed round-ups of two recent industry events, the Leather Days conference organised by FILK and VGCT in Chemnitz, and the annual conference of the UK’s Society of Leather Technologists and Chemists in Northampton.
The update of the Nothing To Hide series for the 2020s continues, with the attention turning this time to water.
We also bring you two articles that address the question of methane emissions from livestock. We view this as being part of a necessary continued effort to explain the science-based facts that counter exaggerated claims about cattle’s contribution to global warming.
In Leather and the Circular Economy, we have details of the latest sustainability report from Italy’s national tanning industry organisation, UNIC, and from Spain, a clarion call from luxury industry body Círculo Fortuny for artisans to receive the recognition and support they deserve. Finally, our Beast to Beauty feature tells the story of South African brand Els & Co, which combines tasteful design and a strong commitment to social side of sustainability.
We are sure you will find these and all the articles in this issue of World Leather informative and thought-provoking.
