    We collect leather scraps/ offcuts destined to the landfill and turn them into a new material. 50 tonnes been saved

    Implementation of the Project/Activity

    Collecting offcuts from garden gloves manufacturing shredding and binding with natural latex (hevea) making new material panels

    Arrangements for Capacity-Building and Technology Transfer

    To evaluate a new production system

    Coordination mechanisms

    Private company based in Hong Kong with operations facilities in Guangzhou province (Southern China) main operations 1. Collect- 2. Transform-3. Embellishment

    Evaluation

    800,000 tonnes of leather offcuts are sent to landfill each year (source : UN - 2000) We can easily double these numbers in 2022.
