Tanneries chemical management

Europe is still the main market for leather products and leather produced in the developing countries, e.g. Southeast Asia, may therefore end up on the European market and to European consumers. Chemicals that are added during the production, and which stay on/in the product, will hence be transported by the product to the final markets, and there will be a chemical flow around the world through the transport of leather and leather products containing chemicals. Since the tanning industry is a chemically intensive industry, an efficient chemical management in tanneries is necessary in order to minimise the overall use of chemicals and in particular also to reduce the amount of hazardous chemicals used in order to minimise eventual health effects on the consumer. [Pg.247]

The main incentives for tanneries to implement a careful management of chemicals are environmental legislation and production specification lists developed by different customers. In addition, there are several voluntary eco-labels and product labels on the market. [Pg.261]
