The meeting for the members of the Veneto Leather District took place and concluded positively on Thursday 15 February.
Topics:
the approval of the budget;
updates on the progress of the new headquarters;
the development of the new museum complex, the first part of which will be ready by the end of 2024;
updates on the development and progress of the ITS Green Leather Manager course.
By collaborating together we hope to be able to give further added value to our territory.
The independent German research institute Filk recently completed a study comparing the leather, an example of circular economy already in its foundations being a waste product of the food industry, with the various alternative materials sponsored as more "eco".
The study shows that leather as a whole has the best performing technical characteristics and is also superior in sustainability.
An opportunity to emphasize that greenwashing is not a solution to a legitimate request from an increasingly aware consumer, but rather a boomerang that will come back sooner or later.
