New issue of World Leather available

The February-March issue of World Leather magazine is now available. Subscribers can read the electronic version at this link.

This new issue includes a Leather Leaders interview with Rajendra Kumar Jalan. Mr Jalan, chairman of India’s Council for Leather Exports, tells us that tensions in the industry’s relationship with the government there have eased and that perceptions of leather are now much more positive among policy-makers.

Our Technology section brings analysis of what this new relationship will mean for leather export targets in India. The same section also includes an important round-up of innovations that technology providers have in the pipeline, plus details of ongoing developments in the use in tanning of waste from the olive oil sector.

Please don’t miss our Leather and the Circular Economy section. Among five new articles, we report on Danish company Sørensen Leather’s attempts in a recent lifecycle analysis of its products to show the huge impact that longevity has on leather’s carbon footprint.

We close with Beast to Beauty, which this time features an eye-catching use of leather by fashion brand Miu Miu. We hope you find every article helpful and enjoyable.
