11) Is leather sustainable?
Animal hides, especially those from cattle, which account for 69% of all hides produced globally, represent a valuable resource on a world scale. Thanks to the knowledge and skill of tanners and manufacturers, it is possible to avoid these hides becoming landfill waste. Estimates indicate a saving of 7.5 million tons from cattle hides alone out of a total of approximately 10 million tons annually. It's a remarkable transformation into a durable, elegant, valued and very versatile material, of what could be waste if not treated properly.
In addition, the leather industry creates jobs and develops skills for millions of direct and indirect employees around the world, an important pillar of sustainability and the circular economy.
Sustainability is one of the hallmarks of leather manufacturers' efforts. The leather industry reuses raw materials from the food industry, making it a renewable and recoverable resource with a low carbon footprint and low water use throughout its life cycle.

12) Can leather be recycled?
Yes. Leather fiberboard is made from grinding up old leather and is used in shoes to create insoles and heel inserts, and leather shavings are used as stuffing in punching bags, for example. New composite materials are also being developed that incorporate ground leather.
More and more companies are developing ways of using the leather finishes that result from production and companies are reusing leather products into something new, allowing them to be recycled and reused.
