Is the leather environment friendly?How to calculate the leather of carbon emission ? Let is dive into the world of the leather.

The process of calculating leather’s carbon footprint has been controversial due to the hides connection with the meat industry.

Currently, there is no single methodology on an internationally agreed standard for leather’s product footprint. In 2018 the EU’s Environmental Footprint Steering Committee published rules about how to calculate the impact of leather manufacturing using LifeCycle Assessment methodology.

This allows tanners to calculate their footprint using harmonized established rules, taking into account the fact that leather is a by-product of the meat and dairy industries.

However,here is a data chart of ineresting trial between leather and vegan leather from internet to count the emissions from energy use in tanneries, chemical outputs and their emissions, transportation, and so on.

In this case, CO2e emissions (emissions of various gasses translated to the common unit of carbon) for leather equal 17.0kg of CO2e per square meter of leather produced.

In comparison, artificial leather’s total supply chain has an impact of 15.8kg of CO2e per square meter. As you can see, even allowing the leather industry’s unreasonable assumption of no impact from animal farming, faux leather’s entire life cycle produces fewer emissions.
