Emissions reduction for Brazilian wet blue

30/03/2026

A new sustainability report from Brazil’s national tanning industry body CICB gives an average figure of 0.75 kilos of CO2-equivalent of carbon emissions per piece of wet blue.

It based its calculation on a sample of more than 11.5 million pieces of wet blue processed by tanners in Brazil in 2024. CICB said this was an improvement of 9.9% compared to its calculation for 2023.
