In order to change this negative image which is inconsistent with the facts, the leather working Association (LWG) came into being.

Manufacturers, especially those from the US footwear manufacturers, want to pform the image of the leather industry and set up a service image for the industry.

It will reduce energy consumption, reduce environmental pollution and minimize the amount of waste.

Hughes said: "although much progress has been made, we know that there is still a long way to go.

These agreements are organic and are constantly updating. "

The leather working Association held a meeting every six months. The last meeting in Europe gathered more than one hundred people.

A two day audit was conducted at the conference, and gold, silver and copper grades were awarded to each industry according to the environmental protection agreement, which is valid for one and a half years.

Dietrich Tegmeyer, director of leather marketing division at Lanxess, Germany, said these agreements could be an important marketing tool for the leather industry.

As a Ph.D. in chemistry, Tegmeyer mentioned that the concept of "ecology" sometimes confuses the general public, and the standards set up by the leather working Association will dispel doubts.

"Thanks to these pioneering actions, we now get a clear idea.

Moacir Berger de Souza, executive director of the South Rio Grande Tanning Industry Association (Brazil) talked about the actions currently being implemented by enterprises and institutions aimed at enacting stringent environmental laws.

"At present, the problems of energy use, water consumption and waste management are being solved. At the same time, from a practical point of view, there are still many unrealized goals, which should be analyzed by relevant enterprises and institutions."

Elton Hurlow, President of the International Federation of tanning technicians and Chemists Association (IULTCS), believes that the environmental needs have been met and the role of the chemical industry in this respect is crucial.

He said, "the chemical industry has been united", and Hurlow maintains that other industries, besides traditional industries, should be able and should use leather as raw materials.

Chen Zhanguang, Deputy Secretary General of the China Leather Association (CLIA), made a concluding speech at the Symposium on ecology and leather. He cautioned that the price of leather has broken away from the development of the industry, and the challenge facing the leather industry is that we should pay more attention to the wider application of quality and leather materials.
