How is Leather Sustainable?

This is one of the most-asked questions we get, and the answer is: Very! Not only that, but Inter-Leather works exclusively with tanneries that meet or exceed legislated environmental requirements.

The key to sustainability is how leather is produced. Since our partners are the tanneries, they have full control at each step of production, from the initial raw hide stage through to the delivery of finished hides to our customers.

The tanneries are proud GOLD rated members of the Leather Working Group (LWG). The LWG develops and enforces protocols that assess the environmental compliance and performance capabilities of leather manufacturers around the world.

They are also members of SATRA and meet Blue Angel standards. These are two world-class organizations dedicated to raising awareness, monitoring, and expanding the adoption of environmentally sustainable practices across the home furnishings industry.

-Routine care of leather is limited to dusting with a dry cloth or vacuuming once a week as dirt and dust act as abrasives on leather.

-Pay special attention to the arms and head rests when cleaning sofas and chairs. In these areas, leather is exposed to the oils from hands, heads, and hair.

-Keep leather away from direct sunlight and away from direct heat. Leather requires a "normal range" of humidity for optimal lifespan.

-Never use abrasive or chemical cleaners, saddle soap, oils, detergents, or furniture polish on leather.

Should spills occur:

-Blot immediately with a clean, absorbent cloth. Most liquids will be initially repelled by leather, but if left over an extended period may be absorbed.

-Gentle wiping/blotting is all that most spills require. Do not apply vigorous rubbing or use coarse cloths as these can damage the surface of the leather.

-Blot dry with a clean dry cloth and allow the leather to air dry in normal room temperature. Allowing leather ample time to dry between attempts at cleaning is important as wet or damp leather is vulnerable to wear and tear.

If you have any questions or need help with leather care, contact TDC for more information and tips!
