New Zealand sheepskins in demand
The demand for sheepskin has increased due to people choosing natural products over plastic and vegan alternatives, according to The New Zealand Herald.
One of the last remaining woolskin tanneries, Classic Sheepskins, located in Napier, which produces homewares, baby products, car seat covers, and woolly slippers said the company plans to increase production from 60,000 to 100,000 skins a year to keep up with the growing demand for its products.
