Infiniti Research Analyzes the Importance of Sustainability in the Leather Chemicals Industry

LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Leather–Industries across various business verticals have started adopting
sustainability to incorporate an eco-friendly working environment in
their business operations. The increasing demand from the automotive
sector as well as the footwear industry has resulted in the extensive
growth of the leather chemicals industry. Infiniti
Research notes that the growing demand for the ancillary
industries have provoked players in leather chemicals industry to align
their growth goals with sustainability.

Tanning
and dyeing chemicals are used in the leather chemicals industry
for adding resilience to leather products, and the usage of these
chemicals increases the overall carbon footprint. Therefore, major
companies in the leather chemicals industry are trying to adopt
environmental friendly substitutes.

Market Trends

Leading players in the leather chemicals market like LANXESS, BASF, and
Stahl Holdings are in the process of building a future-oriented leather
production system, which will help them to adopt eco-friendly
substitutes for the hazardous chemicals without compromising on the
quality of their products.

In one of its R&D projects, the German chemicals giant BASF found that
beam-house processes produce less carbon footprint as compared to the
re-tannage process. Likewise, by replacing powder products with liquid
products, the negative impact on the environment can be reduced.
LANXESS, another prominent player has initiated the Sustainable Leather
Management initiative for addressing the challenges in the entire value
chain of the leather chemicals industry. A few sustainable practices
that have been undertaken by the company are: use of biopolymers as
re-tanning agents, adoption of organic wet white technique, and
water-based pigments to enhance the finishing of the leather goods.

Market opportunities

It has become necessary for businesses to switch to sustainable
production processes and it has become mandate for some major
manufacturers of leather chemicals to bring down their contribution to
GHGs. Therefore, these manufacturers are looking for planet-friendly
technologies to enhance their products. The adoption of green solutions
will be encouraged by introducing tools which can measure carbon
footprint along with certifications from government agencies. One such
tool is ECO2L, which determines the corporate carbon footprint of a
tannery.
