The ongoing narrative that leather is prejudicial to the environment is about to be challenged by a new study commissioned by the Leather and Hide Council of America (LHCA). The independent study consists of a Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) of leather and is due to be published in April.
It will show that leather’s carbon footprint has been overestimated by up to 8000 times by the Higg Msi calculations.
The new authenticated figures should help leather find wider acceptance amongst designers and make it more competitive with its so-called vegan rivals.
We bring leather, material and fashion businesses together: an opportunity to meet and greet face to face. We bring them from all parts of the world so that they can find fresh partners, discover new customers or suppliers and keep ahead of industry developments.
We organise a number of trade exhibitions which focus on fashion and lifestyle: sectors that are constantly in flux, so visitors and exhibitors alike need to be constantly aware both of the changes around them and those forecast for coming seasons.
