UK LEATHER
UK LEATHER aims to facilitate the process of identifying and contacting ‘UK based manufacturing facilities that employ people in the manufacture of leather in the UK’. The UK leather industry has a long-standing reputation for quality, consistency and reliability. This is underpinned by a comprehensive and constantly evolving system of regulations and voluntary industry agreements and accreditation systems.
The leather industry utilises hides and skins which would, if the industry did not exist to process them, create an enormous waste disposal problem with the attendant health hazards. Leather is a renewable natural resource, if leather was not produced, it would have to be replaced be synthetic materials derived from non-renewable resources.
