A new issue of World Leather is now available. We have important articles about bio-based products (Gustavo Adrián Defeo ), about roller-coating technology (Gemata SpA) and about renewable energy (GSC Group). We also bring you an in-depth review of the 2025 edition of APLF and an insightful Leather Leaders conversation with the secretary-general of COTANCE Euroleather, Gustavo Gonzalez-Quijano. However, there is no getting away from the big story in this issue: we have tried to provide as much detail as possible on how and trade disputes might affect the global . We have two long-read articles about this, the first focusing on raw materials, the second on finished products. It is difficult to know exactly how things will go, but we hope to have painted part of the picture, at least, in an objective and informative way.

Today is , dedicated to celebrating leather as a material and fostering a deeper understanding of responsible leather production.
This year, we’re highlighting transparency, sustainability, and longevity as key pillars of the leather industry:
🔍 Transparency: Audited tanneries use strictly regulated chemicals, uphold rigorous safety and environmental standards, and comply with Restricted Substances Lists (RSLs) to ensure responsible production.
🌱 Sustainability: Many modern tanneries are certified by the Leather Working Group and the Sustainable Leather Foundation, adhering to responsible water and energy use, waste management, and chemical control. Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) further help reduce environmental impact.
🛠️ Longevity: Leather is durable, repairable, and reusable, making it a naturally resilient choice over synthetic alternatives. Its unique strength and breathability contribute to a circular and sustainable economy.
Join us in celebrating World Leather Day 2025 and share how transparency and sustainability are shaping the future of leather!
