Well it had to happen... Paul Pearson, former secretary of the ICT has finally retired. Covid stopped us giving him the send off he deserved but we still got him a token of our esteem. All the best for your retirement, Paul! @ILMEditor @tannerybloke

Most UK leather is made with local hides, originating from a food system with some of highest welfare and environmental standards in the world, from extensively reared cattle on carbon-sequestering pasture. Doing it right in the UK! Find out more at the new British Meat website

Some memes just won’t die. For those who still don’t get it, livestock do not produce more GHG than cars. @ICLTLeather @COTANCE_ @WTPworldleather @ILMEditor @ICTanners
The @Guardian cited a @Greenpeace report, claiming that European animal Ag emits more GHG than all cars and vans (i.e. majority of transport), which is incorrect. Here are the official EEA data for Europe: transport = 20% and livestock = 6%. eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/…

The modern tanning industry is not how agenda-driven groups would have you believe. Modern tanneries are clean and safe, subject to stringent regulation and endlessly striving to improve
Want to know what a modern tannery really looks like? Get your 3-D glasses on and have look at these brilliant videos from @PrimeAsiaLeathr . Clean, safe, efficient. And nothing like Marrakesh... primeasialeather.com/vr-plat…

'In the future, the environment is what we’ll be producing, and the food will be a by-product' And leather will be a by-product of that. Renewable materials from regenerative farming. Can't do that with plastic theguardian.com/environment/…
