Leather is almost a rage among people. People love to owe leather jackets, shoes, vests, jumpers, pants.

Leather products be it jackets, pants, vests, handbags, shoes all have been widely accepted and people take it as a pride to own one classic piece of leather jacket or jump suit in their wardrobe. This is the age where we are seeing that global warming is taking a toll on people choices about leather and fur. So does that means that leather shopping has hit an all time low? No, that is not the case. Designers worldwide have welcomed this green move and have adopted the ecological way in the leather making process. The traditional way of way of tanning the leather included the use of chrome and some other heavy materials. It converts the raw hide into durable and shining leather. But we all know that these heavy materials pose serious health threats and also contaminate water and air. Going the green way, these days a new concept called Eco leather has come up. The tanning method here includes the use of sustainable materials which are environment  friendly. The leather is treated from natural products like natural waxes, vegetable products, and other farm tree extracts. These are biodegradable so they do not pose any environmental hazard. The best thing is there is no compromise on the quality of the product. The leather retains its softness and richness. Not only the manufacturing of leather poses certain health hazards, it is also hazardous when it is time to dispose them off. As the tanning involves the use of heavy materials so they are not decomposed easily as well.  A new process called E leather has been introduced which involves recycling of the old and discarded leather. The leather is recycled and it could be reused and made into various products. The process includes: bringing the discarded leather into the tanneries where it is recycled into the leather fibers. These fibers are then combined to made high quality material suited for furniture upholstery and various other interior designing applications. Do you know that by adopting these Eco friendly tanning and post tanning process the chemical consumption in the leather industry could be cut by 82{b3eea736f49b1f74b0eedd8a5b78ce62d6fa2d27ec21c19b111c7b8ba7a5b728} and we could save more energy say about 40{b3eea736f49b1f74b0eedd8a5b78ce62d6fa2d27ec21c19b111c7b8ba7a5b728}.
