International Leather Exhibition Inspires Ideas For The Leather Industry's Pition Period

After three days of compact meetings and industry exchange activities, the seventeenth China International leather exhibition ended in September 5th (Friday, Friday).

and

China International Footwear Exhibition, China International luggage and leather garment and apparel exhibition held at the International Leather Fair, has injected more power into the largest leather exhibition in Asia.

More than 1300 exhibitors are coming from 38 countries and regions to greet more than 23000 buyers.

There is a lively atmosphere in the discussion, including the international situation and environmental protection, and even the debate on environmental science.

According to all sides, many factors are affecting the global leather industry, especially in the Chinese market, including the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, resulting in Russia's export ban on leather products to the United States and European countries, the shortage of raw materials in some countries, and the closure of the tanneries in China and other countries because of upgrading.

Nevertheless, in view of the fact that the resources of the leather industry are still adequate, many exhibitors headed by the chemical industry have come up with countermeasures.

The outlook is still optimistic.

Overall, the development of leather, fur, leather products and footwear industry in China in the first half of 2014 slowed down compared with the same period last year.

China's leather industry is facing new environmental legislation, which has caused hundreds of tanneries in Hebei and other provinces to temporarily suspend production.

But in the long run, the new law will help improve the sustainability of leather production and reduce environmental damage.

Su Chaoying, director of the China Leather Association, said: "upgrading has affected the number of leather produced in China this year, but we expect most tanneries after the pition period.

Production will rebound. "

The situation in Pakistan is enough to prove this.

The local government has provided preferential treatment and upgrading facilities to tanneries. One example is Royal Leather Industries. At present, they have been able to recycle waste water through their own sewage treatment plants.

Agha Saiddain, director of marketing at Royal Leather Industries, said the company also produces leather that does not contain chromium, which has led the company to acquire IKEA home products procurement (IWAY) certification at IKEA furniture store chain.

The role of chemical enterprises is becoming more and more important.

International chemical enterprises have been keeping the rules and regulations for many years.

The new environmental legislation is more rigorous, which allows enterprises to raise their product level to the required standard.

Some enterprises not only produce less toxic products, but also seek better solutions, including reducing energy consumption and enhancing the durability of leather.

Lambertii launched the 100% solvent-free water soluble product Nova free at China International Leather Fair. Its marketing director Giorgio Pagnoncelli said: "sticking to environmental protection guidelines is an important driving force for the development of chemical leather industry."

The challenge of chemical enterprises lies in the development of new environmental protection technologies, which not only affect the quality of leather, but also improve the quality in the process.

Take Stahl's new product Stahlite as an example, it can reduce the weight of leather and keep the overall thickness of leather.

Stahlite can reduce the weight by 15% to 35% depending on the type of leather.

In the current economic austerity, the light, soft, bright processing and richness of the color and texture of the store are the major trends in the exhibition, which bring inspiration to our daily life.

Rick Bentley, director of Sappi, said: "we are working closely with designers to understand the trend of the future. The China International Leather Exhibition is the most appropriate place to test which customers are most popular."

Sappi's latest release paper includes textures, concrete, stone, soil and all kinds of twill. The latest designs of Henan Prospect for sheepskin and green leather include porcelain patterns, such as blue and white lotus, camouflage, leopard print and so on.

True internationalization

Brazil has received public attention from various international events last year, bringing 24 new exhibitors with a record high this year.

Although some tanneries in Turkey have not participated in the exhibition, they are still the largest national pavilion.

The total number of leather exports in Turkey jumped by 12%, especially from exports to Europe, and footwear exports increased by 22%.

One of the highlights of the Turkey Pavilion is the Leather Age Anatolia exhibition, which shows the evolution of Turkey's ancient civilization with its unique exhibits.

The eight black leather Turkey avant-garde men's clothing designed by Hatice Gokce is like the armor of Anatolian warrior, which is like a living, attracting endless stream of people to stop and watch.
