Breakthrough for Spoor as Oeko-Tex makes traceability move
Certification body Oeko-Tex has said it will work with Danish company Spoor to increase the transparency component of its standards and labelling for leather.
Spoor, a spin-off from Danish wet blue and wet white producer Scan-Hide, uses a laser-technology based system for marking and identifying hides. Its system allows it and brands who use leather made from its hides to provide access to the whole life-story of the animals the raw material comes from.
