Out now: World Leather August-September
The August-September issue of World Leather is available now with must-read articles from cover to cover.
This time, in Leather Leaders, we offer a hard-hitting interview in which the secretary of the International Council of Tanners, Dr Kerry Senior, makes it clear that the industry has to take responsibility for its own progress, its own success and its own future. He insists that no one else is coming to leather’s rescue.
We have special reports from the Freiberg Leather Days event in June. This includes a general round-up of the conference, but also an account of the keynote presentation in which Professor Wilhelm Windisch explained why livestock are a key component of global systems for producing food, including plant-based food.
In addition, we offer technology articles on a series of new tools that can help tanners measure and lower their carbon footprint. We also launch a new series on progress in test methods for leather.
Circular economy articles address leather authenticity and, from two different perspectives, the now familiar topic of lifecycle assessment. Beast to Beauty highlights what all leathergoods retailers can learn from Dior’s fabulous flagship store in Paris.
We hope you enjoy reading every article.
