Abstract

Releasing of large volumes of leather scraps wastes from different leather, footwear, and leather goods industries has become a major environmental pollution concern now a days in developing countries. Natural nanofibers are widely used as prospective reinforcement materials in formulation of different biocomposites materials. Herein, a new nanocomposite material has been synthesized and characterized using leather scraps wastes and Slender amaranth based nano-cellulose with latex in a clean environment perspective. Nano-cellulose was extracted from Slender amaranth vegetable wastes as natural fiber for green composites preparation. The extracted nanofibers, leather waste composite, and the resulting nanocomposite material have been characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). Different physio-mechanical characteristics of nanocomposite were evaluated which showed its potential applications as shoe upper components. The results revealed that addition of nano-cellulose significantly improved the physical properties of new composite sheet. SEM images revealed the surface morphology of nanocomposite which was observed to be predominantly homogenous with uniform distribution of particles. This novel nanocomposite exhibits different potential properties and TGA data showed higher thermal stability of this material in comparison to those obtained with control method. It can find application as a green reinforcement material in the preparation of different leather goods with improved mechanical properties and thermal stability. These significant findings highlight the preparation of a valuable biocomposite material from leather solid wastes which is cost effective and sustainable for leather industries as well as it emphasizes an effective approach to reduce environmental pollution.

Abstract

Industrial clustering is the co-location of firms in a geographic area, which can lead to numerous economic benefits such as joint resources and knowledge pooling, R&D collaboration, technology sharing, and joint marketing. This study aims to examine the influence of industrial clustering on the performance of firms in the leather and leather products industry in Addis Ababa. Moreover, this study aims to investigates whether innovation capacity and collaboration networks indirectly contribute to the relationship between clustering factors and firms' performance. In this study, both primary and secondary data were collected for analysis. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling was employed to explore the impact of clustering on performance in terms of innovation, job creation, attracting investment, export intensity, and productivity growth. This study found that a one-unit increase in cluster factors is associated with a 0.43-unit increase in firm performance. The mediation analysis revealed that collaboration networks mediate the relationship between cluster factors and firm performance by 0.21 and innovation capacity mediates the relationship between cluster factors and firm performance by 0.15 units. The findings indicate that industrial clusters strongly influence firm performance within the leather industry in Addis Ababa. Therefore, the results suggest that innovation capacity and collaboration networks are mechanisms through which industrial clusters affect firm performance. Future researchers should explore the cluster effect in other industrial sectors and regions to validate the research findings.

Abstract

Large amounts of solid wastes are produced in manufacturing of leather and leather products. Nearly 80–85% of solid wastes is generated in leather production whereas 20–30% of leather is ended up as wastes from leather goods and footwear industries which poses significant concern regarding environmental pollution. An attempt was made to produce environmentally friendly bio-composite materials with higher mechanical characteristics by utilizing solid wastes released from leather industries. In this study, leather fibers (LF) from shaving dust and leather cutting scrap were used with plant fibers such as banana (Musa acuminata), pineapple (Ananas comosus), betel nut (Areca catechu), and moringa (Moringa oleifera) for making composite sheets reinforced with natural rubber latex (NRL). New composite materials were characterized by using thermogravimetric (TGA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques which confirmed the presence of desired physical and chemical properties in them. FTIR analysis showed characteristics absorption resonances at 3287, 2919, and 2855 cm−1 which were not apparent in starting single fibers. TGA data indicated that banana fiber (BF) composite is thermally more stable than others. The tensile strengths of pineapple fiber (PF) composite and BF sheet were 3.89 and 3.59 Mpa, respectively, which were higher than those observed in control sheet (CS). New composite sheets possess significant properties which make them suitable to be used as valuable raw materials for manufacturing of various footwear and leather goods. This interesting approach will reduce environmental pollution and ensure the sustainability of the respective ecosystem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

One of the developments that trailed the evolution of technology and industrialization at the turn of twentieth century is the policy or theory of planned obsolescence. Professionals were given the power to determine the lifespan of products as they so wish. To achieve this, the third requirement for standardized products which is durability must be compromised resulting to products with inbuilt assigned life circle which must end at an appropriate time deem fit by the manufacturers. It was argued that product durability constitutes economic paralyses preventing economies from consuming the abundant raw materials, limiting the space for constant reproduction to create employment for millions of job seekers. This research aimed to examine the economic impact that this policy has on leather and ceramic products. The objective is to investigate the conditions that surround the obsolescence of leather and ceramic products and other variables that correlates the economic implication and the degradation technology or mechanism behind this planned obsolescence of leather and ceramic products. The methodology focuses on three main areas which are: influence and impacts of demand side, the supply side, the environmental side and lastly, the one sided and two sided markets. Findings reveal that increase in demand and production motivated producers to implement the policy of planned obsolescence thereby arresting the shift in preference to other products of manufacture. Equally, the manufacturers understood the technicalities of product grading thereby using this device to influence or manipulate consumers to abandon some products in preference for others. It also revealed that, this policy of induced purchase and periodic change of dysfunctional or obsolete goods impact negatively on the economy of consumers. More, all abandoned and unused products end up as waste and are the causes of environmental degradation. Lastly, findings also blamed the depletion of our natural resources on the policy of planned obsolescence of products of which leather and ceramic products are included. The article concludes by noting that, businesses thrive on account of this policy, but it induces wasteful spending and increased environmental waste and degradation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Sustainable consumption and production (SCP) practices in the leather goods industry is a new trend in the developing and developed countries and it is becoming more popular by the day. It is essential to introduce SCP practices for the production in the sub-sector of leather products in Bangladesh. The relevance of SCP activities to the leather goods industry is emphasized in this article. The previous work emphasised other industrial fields. Results reveal that the lack of technological up-gradation, lack of customer attitude and behaviour towards SCP, lack of incentives for/motivation of business organizations, lack of top management commitment, support, dedication and involvement, and customers who are attracted towards cheap products come under causal group challenges, which can help the decision makers formulate a policy for a successful implementation of SCP practices that will help achieve sustainable development goals.

Abstract

This paper brings out the socio-economic condition of the exodus employees in Tamil Nadu. We analyse the income patterns, remittance structure, their consumption and nature of work especially in leather industries. Generally, Tamilnadu is boasting of good number of leather industries. It enables to improve the production of leather goods of very high quality. A large number of employees from northern states of India are travelling to Tamil Nadu for earning their lively hood. We came to know that large number of exodus labour arrive to Tamil Nadu through the informal networks which guide them in getting jobs in leather goods manufacturing industries. poor economic conditions in their native places and high wage rate and better employment opportunities in Tamil Nadu have been identified as few of the main reasons of their migration. Even after their migration, due to unsatisfied income level, the dwelling status of the exodus labourers are not much satisfactory, these exodus employees don't have good standard of living along with unhygienic sanitation. There are various reasons for the exodus labour to arrive in Tamil nadu. This paper tries to point out those factors and the post migration situation of these exodus labourers.

Abstract

The apparel industry is considered to be one of the most polluting manufacturing industries and it generates a large number of wastes that can harm the environment. Ignorance of the waste of finished and used leather and fabric leads to environmental pollution. Converting this solid waste into efficient products is proving to be a challenge. The article examines the possible use of waste leather, fabric, and low‐density polyethylene to develop composites using plant binder. This composite material has a comparable tensile strength (23.6 ± 0.16 μm), the flexibility of 89%, and very reasonable elongation at break (31.40%) when compared to the standard reinforcement material of leather goods since the commercial reinforcement have tensile strength of 15–25 μm; flexibility 50%–90% and 25–40 (Teklay, 2018). The mechanical properties of the flexible composite were promising and made it possible to use it in the leather and textile industries in goods manufacturing as reinforcement of bag. Therefore, the study uncovered a new concept for making composite materials that are environmentally friendly and cost effective as reinforcement of bag manufacturing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

This study focused on reducing total chromium levels in raw wastewater from the leather tanning industry via electrocoagulation to comply with maximum permissible limits (MPL) and to determine the effects of main process parameters. An electrocoagulation reactor was built using aluminum electrodes as an anode and cathode. Then, the response surface methodology was applied using a 3k factorial design considering three factors, namely current intensity, treatment time, and pH. The total chromium removal percentage was considered as a response variable. 99% of the total chromium found in wastewater could be removed after 14-min treatment at 2-A current intensity and pH 5.5. Similar amount of chromium was removed at pH of 8.5 and 7. Statistical analysis performed at a confidence level of p < 0.05 revealed that all three factors influenced electrocoagulation. Total chromium could be efficiently removed from raw wastewater at a current intensity of 2.9 A, a pH of 8.4, and a treatment time of 21 min, suggesting that electrocoagulation using aluminum electrodes is an efficient method for total chromium removal. Thus, this process must be considered as a solution to the problems caused by the leather tanning industry and for better compliance with the MPL established in the Peruvian environmental standards.

Abstract

This study examines opportunities and challenges in harnessing indigenous knowledge (IK) for employment creation and poverty reduction in rural Tanzania. The study is underpinned by literature review and descriptive analysis focusing on leather products made by Barabaig women in Hanang, Tanzania. During the study, a sample of one hundred households was selected and interviewed. Data were collected from the administered interviews that were structured like a questionnaire. The literature details the challenges IK faces, including: the threat of extinction due to lack of recording, with much focus on IK that has a direct cash benefit only and the ignored "non-cash" knowledge; considered as part of a residual, traditional, and backward way of life that is easily brushed off on the ground that it cannot be trusted; and not inclusive. The IK drive in Tanzania lacks one unifying policy. Inadequate tanning training, expensive modern tanning inputs, low quality hides and skins associated with poor animal husbandry, poor quality local inputs and tools, low quality output, and lack of markets are among the inhibiting factors faced by Barabaig women using IK to create leather products. Poor roads, inadequate supply of clean water and health services, and lack of electricity is another set of hurdles Barabaig women face. Apart from leather products, Barabaig women also produce other traditional products such as blankets, shawls, bracelets, and neck and waist ornaments. This study argues that Tanzania needs a comprehensive IK policy, and that local governments are better custodians of IK than the central government. There is a need to scale up training on tanning technology, improve animal husbandry, increase the availability of affordable chemical and non-chemical inputs, unlock marketing constraints, encourage producer associations/groups, and address rural bottlenecks such as poor roads, access to electricity, and long distance travel for water and healthcare services.

Abstract
