Germany’s environment minister, Sigmar Gabriel, has visited a tannery in China to  see at first hand a production system that is less harmful to the planet.

Mr Gabriel toured the ISA Tan Tec tannery with a delegation of around 40 people representing government, pressure groups and the business sector. His visit to China consisted mostly of discussions with high-level Chinese officials, but he included the tannery in Guangzhou as the only industrial site on his agenda.
