World Leather June-July out now
A new issue of World Leather for June-July is out now. In Leather Leaders, we talk to Guilherme Motta, president of JBS Couros, about what it is like to run the largest leather manufacturing group in the world.
We launch a new series of industry reports, aiming to document the current scope of the global leather industry by focusing on some key markets; we begin the series with Brazil.
There are technology articles on the water-based system that removes the need for chemical cross-linkers in leather finishing, and on new systems for marking, tracking and tracing hides in the tannery and beyond.
Circular economy articles include an explanation of the Dublin Declaration, which represents a fight-back by more than 1,000 scientists who are tired of the one-sidedness of discussions about meat and livestock. We have a profile of social media figure Tanner Leatherstein, and close with a Beast to Beauty feature focusing on ‘quiet’ luxury.
We hope you enjoy reading every article.
