- Leather is a material created through
the tanning of hides and skins of animals, primarily cattlehide. The
tanning process converts the putrescible skin into a durable,
long-lasting and versatile natural material for various uses.
- The leather industry and the fur
industry are distinct industries that are differentiated by the
importance of their raw materials. In the leather industry the raw
materials are by-products of the meat industry, with the meat having
higher value than the skin.
- The leather manufacturing process is
divided into 3 fundamental sub-processes: preparatory stages, tanning
and crusting. All true leathers will undergo these sub-processes. A
further sub-process, surface coating can be added into the leather
process sequence but not all leathers receive surface treatment.
- Enzymes like proteases, lipases and
amylases have an important role in the soaking, dehairing, degreasing,
and bating operations of leather manufacturing.
- An institute has developed a three
step tanning methodology towards near zero discharge leather processing.
Cow hides are dehaired using standard enzyme based dehairing method.
- World leather exports grew
moderately,from US$ 46 billion to US$ 61 billion. World leather exports
can be categorised in to raw hides and skins (40%), leather articles
(49%) and furskins (11%).
- China, Hong Kong, Italy, USA and
France are major exporters of leather in the world.
- India has been exporting only
finished leather because of export restriction on semifinished leather.
Total leather and leather manufactures exports stood at Rs.10,286
crores. Leather footwear is the largest component of leather exports,
with a share of 26%.
- India’s major export markets for
leather handbags are USA, Germany, UK and Spain. In UK and Spain, Italy
