Clean Technology Brochure
The raw hide or skin is a by-product of the meat industry and from this raw material the leather tanning industry converts approximately 25% by weight into leather. The production of leather from the raw hides and skins involves an intensive use of water as well as many mechanical and chemical processing steps. Consequently the tanning industry generates considerable amounts of solid, liquid and gaseous wastes. Well planned clean technology practices through the use of minimising, re-cycling, and re-use of water and solids following the best available technologies (BAT), can allow tanners to comply with tough environmental pressures.

Risk assessment of leather dyestuffs
The identification of human health and evnironmental hazards are important prerequisites for risk and life cycle assessment. Good quality information on exprosure is needed to address the risk objectively, and possible options for risk reduction. Risk management should indeed start with a careful selection of colorants that exhibit the required performance with regard to substrate affinity, fastness and other boundary conditions.
