Abstract

In this review, we are going to discuss the ecological, environmental, and social impact of the leather industry and the potential for sustainability within it. The process of transforming animal hide into leather involves the use of harsh chemicals, which can have significant negative impacts on the environment and ecosystem, both directly and indirectly. While many alternative methods for producing leather have been developed, the impact of leather production has yet to be fully overcome. This is because leather is still in high demand, and the alternatives are not yet able to fully replace traditional leather production methods. However, with increasing knowledge and awareness of the environmental and social impacts of the leather industry, more and more people are becoming concerned about the livelihoods of those impacted by the industry. There is a growing demand for more sustainable and ethical practices within the industry. To address this demand, alternative ways of producing leather are gaining popularity. For example, fruit leather is one potential alternative that is gaining attention due to its environmentally friendly production process. These alternatives have the potential to reduce the impact of the leather industry on the environment and create a more sustainable and ethical industry. Due to nature of material increase in demand with alternate ways has gained popularity like fruit leather.
