In the field of clothing we can say it, the skin is one of the most durable and durable natural source materials : soft, flexible and extremely versatile, it is perfect for carrying out bosses and accessories of all kinds, such as jackets, belts, bags, shoes.

But if the skin, on the one hand, thanks to its characteristics, can contribute to the philosophy of "Reducing, reusing, recycle" friends of the planet, its processing involves the possibility of a high environmental impact on the other side. The chemicals that are used in many manufactures to preserve it and block the natural process of deterioration affecting the organics, along with dyes and other highly toxic agents such as chromium, can in fact pollute land, fields and rivers and creep into the aquifers. These are not trivial effects on the environment : the processing of the skin can have very negative consequences on workers employed in concertgoers, as is the case in many manufacturing companies in countries such as India and China, or South America, without forgetting the communities in which such things are placed, as the pollutants end up contaminating crops, as well as crops, entering the food chain.

A study by the Indian Institute of Toxicology found in recent years that Indian workers, due to exposure to poisonous substances such as chromium, are more prone-at least twice-to contract diseases and infections. Many of them wash-rano in the tubs in which the skins are dyed and treated without even boots or protective gloves. In this type of industry, tons of waste and employees are produced every year billions of gallons of water, as well as huge amounts of energy. A very strong acre scent and colored foam that along with the water pours into the scour canals of these manufactures, the color of the neighboring vegetation, which from green becomes yellow, mar-rone, and even black, make it easy to imagine what the effects of those substances on the human body in the case of prolonged use and in conditions in which the necessary safety parameters are not observed.
