“As we move forward, leather will become scarcer per capita globally so it should be manufactured, utilised and consumed as an increasingly valuable item. Its utility defines many of its end uses but its emotional and sensory qualities will hold the key to its value to the final consumer.Tanners must think about the implications of this in the way that they design new leathers from all raw material types and grades, and how they can work with designers to ultimately create abetter product,” said Mike Redwood.
The International Leather Conference co-organised by APLF and BLC will also take place at this year’s fair. The focus of this year’s conference will be on “Leather and the Environment”; industry leaders such as Martin Manghelli from adidas Group, Dr Dietrich Tegtmeyer from LANXESS Deutschland GmbH, Dr Victoria Addy from BLC Leather Technology Centre Ltd and Martin Berman from Micro-Pak Ltd will be presenting at the conference.
