Water in focus at seventh Sustainable Leather Forum
Alliance France Cuir has announced the programme for the seventh Sustainable Leather Forum, which will take place in Paris on September 8.
Water will feature prominently in the first half of the conference. An introductory keynote featuring academic Christian Buchet will examine the ocean as a key to humanity’s future.
Following this, World Wildlife Fund’s Payal Luthra will speak on the challenge of saving water in the fashion industry.
Later in the morning, the use of water in leather manufacturing in particular will become the focus. Three industry figures, Leather UK director, Dr Kerry Senior, chief executive of Qualus, Kerry Brozyna, and the director of Tanneries Haas, Jean-Christophe Muller, will speak.
They will outline steps the leather industry is taking to take care of the precious resource that is water.
