Scottish Leather Group company Muirhead asks on LinkedIn: Have you considered leather outdated? We want to challenge this notion. The article below explains how Europe’s leather industry is more than just a producer of luxury goods—it’s a €8 billion leader in sustainability and social responsibility.
The truth is that leather is an upcycled byproduct of the meat industry. It uses just 1% of an animal’s economic value to create durable, repairable, and compostable materials. Unlike synthetics, which pile up in landfills, leather naturally breaks down. It’s not just a material—it’s a solution to the waste crisis.
Choosing leather means embracing a circular economy, turning what could be trash into wealth, jobs, and a sustainable material that lasts.
We bring leather, material and fashion businesses together: an opportunity to meet and greet face to face. We bring them from all parts of the world so that they can find fresh partners, discover new customers or suppliers and keep ahead of industry developments.
We organise a number of trade exhibitions which focus on fashion and lifestyle: sectors that are constantly in flux, so visitors and exhibitors alike need to be constantly aware both of the changes around them and those forecast for coming seasons.
