04 01 Leather and fur industry waste
More about:
The leather and fur industries are important sectors of the economy, producing goods that are in high demand. However, these industries are also among the largest sources of waste that cause significant damage to the environment and human health. Let's take a closer look at this problem, its impact on the environment and health, as well as possible solutions.
Leather and fur industry waste is complex and multi-component, as it includes various chemicals, organic residues and other dangerous components. During the production of leather and fur, many chemicals are used, such as chromium, formaldehyde, dyes and others, which increase the quality of the final product. These substances in the production process can remain in the waste and enter the environment, polluting the soil, water and air.
The main types of waste from the leather and fur industry include:
- processed and unprocessed leather scraps;
- remains of fur;
- fur processing waste;
- leather scraps with chemical residues;
- sediments containing heavy metals;
- contaminated waters after production processes.
Methods of ecological waste management of the leather and fur industry are becoming more and more relevant due to the growing amount of waste and its impact on the environment. Waste management of the leather and fur industry includes the operations of collection, sorting, crushing and processing of waste. However, the insufficient use of modern technologies and methods of processing leads to the accumulation of waste in landfills and their dangerous impact on nature.

A pity for the environment and people
Waste from the leather and fur industry has a significant impact on the environment. The main problem is the high content of toxic substances in these wastes, such as chromium, formaldehyde and heavy metals. These substances are able to penetrate into the soil, underground and surface water, which leads to their pollution. As a result, the soil becomes unsuitable for agriculture, and the water — for human and animal consumption.
Also, during the storage of waste in landfills, harmful gases are released, which negatively affect air quality. This can lead to the formation of acid rain and deterioration of ecosystems. Environmental management of leather and fur industry waste includes the need to prevent emissions of harmful substances into the air, water and soil.
Effluent produced during leather and fur production also plays an important role in environmental pollution. These waters contain a large amount of chemicals that can cause the degradation of aquatic ecosystems, as well as contribute to the reduction of biodiversity in water bodies. Transportation of waste from the leather and fur industry requires special attention, because during transportation, waste can pollute the environment if the rules for its storage and transportation are not followed.
Pity for people
Waste from the leather and fur industry poses a serious threat to human health. High levels of toxic substances such as chromium, formaldehyde and heavy metals can cause various diseases, including dermatitis, allergies, respiratory diseases and even cancer. Workers in this industry are often at increased risk of illness due to exposure to chemicals.
Continuous inhalation of fumes and dust containing toxic substances can cause chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma and bronchitis. In addition, some chemicals can cause damage to the central nervous system, which manifests itself in the form of headaches, weakness, sleep disturbances and concentration problems.
Sewage water entering the water supply system is also a danger. If such waters are not properly treated, they can cause poisoning in people who consume the contaminated water. This is especially dangerous for children and the elderly, who have weaker immunity.
Ways to reduce harm
Ways to reduce harm from leather and fur industry waste include various approaches and methods aimed at reducing the negative impact on the environment and human health. One of the main directions is the implementation of modern waste processing and disposal technologies, which allow to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills.
Ecological waste management of the leather and fur industry also involves the implementation of closed production cycles, which allows to reduce the use of chemicals and minimize the generation of waste. For example, the use of biotechnology in the production of leather can significantly reduce the need to use toxic chemicals.
Another important direction is the development of waste collection, sorting and processing systems (R5). The operations of collecting, sorting, crushing and processing (D13) waste from the leather and fur industry must be organized in such a way as to minimize their impact on the environment. This includes the use of modern equipment that allows you to effectively process waste and reduce its volume.
An important aspect is also raising the awareness of workers and consumers about the negative impact of leather and fur industry waste on the environment and health. Conducting educational programs and information campaigns will help raise the level of environmental awareness and contribute to reducing waste generation.
