There is still a lot to be done to clarify the reasons why we should use leather. With this in mind, several international organisations are working to convey the unique attributes of leather. This is the case with Leather Naturally, whose work is based on the premise of “educating and promoting leather”, and their Q&A.
Shall we set ourselves a little challenge?
IS LEATHER SUSTAINABLE?
YES
ARE ANIMALS KILLED ONLY FOR THEIR SKINS?
NO
IS LEATHER ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY?
YES
CAN LEATHER BE RECYCLED?
YES
DOES LEATHER HAVE A LARGE CARBON FOOTPRINT?
NO
CAN LEATHER BE MADE FROM SOURCES OTHER THAN ANIMALS?
NO
LEATHER CAUSES DEFORESTATION?
NO
Most of the answers to these questions are actually not common knowledge. That’s why it’s so important to clarify concepts.
