Greener Manufacturing Show supports sustainable leather

The Greener Manufacturing Show, combined with the Plastic Free World Conference & Expo, brings together more than 150+ exhibitors and over 3,000 international brand owners and manufacturers from a wide range of industries looking for the latest technologies and solutions to enhance their sustainability credentials and reduce the impact of their operations on the environment.

Their recent newsletter highlights why the WWF report is a welcome endorsement of the leather industry's commitment to sustainability.

‘As the world's population continues to grow, and with it the demand for meat, it is essential that we find ways to produce leather in a more sustainable way. The leather industry is well-placed to do this, and companies like Bridge of Weir and Muirhead are leading the way.’
