Résumé : |
Over the past few decades, climate change has evolved into an issue of global concern. The measures taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and the significant and increasing awareness on the environmental impact of the production processes, force leather manufacturers to meet higher environmental standards and improve the sustainability of the leather tanning process.
The leather industry is one of the significant sectors of the Turkish economy in terms of industrial production, employment and export earnings. However, there is a gap in the literature regarding a carbon footprint assessment of the Turkish leather industry. It is important to analyse the leather production processes in order to identify the 'hotspots' and environmental improvements that could transform the constraints into opportunities for improving the environmental performances of Turkish tanneries. Considering these aspects, this study aims to provide basic information, and raise awareness of carbon emissions and energy efficiency in Turkish leather production. |
