Nera Leather Tanning’s Post

Ever wondered about the water footprint of traditional leather production? According to Circumfauna.org, it can be as high as 104,670 litres for just one hide! This massive volume of water usage poses significant environmental challenges, particularly as water scarcity becomes an increasingly pressing global issue. In comparison, Treekind® only uses less than 1% of the water used in conventional leather processing. Treekind®, crafted from eco-friendly agricultural and garden waste, offers a sustainable solution. Not only does Treekind® drastically reduce water consumption compared to conventional leather, but it also eliminates the need for plastic, making it a double win for the planet. 🌎 #BeTreekind . . . #sustainablechoices #sustainablefashion #zerowastefashion #zerowast #waterconsumption #leatheralternative #ecochoices #sustainableliving #consciouschoices

🟢PACKAGING SPOTLIGHT🟢 Ever Heard of Elephant Grass? Elephant grass is a remarkable crop with the power to create high-performance materials. This non-food crop thrives with minimal water and rapidly absorbs carbon dioxide. Recognising its potential, Vibers is transforming it into bio-based, biodegradable plastic, cardboard, and paper. Versatile and sustainable, these materials are ideal for injection moulding, extrusion, thermoforming, and a wide range of applications, including luxury cosmetics and electronics packaging. Benefits: 💨 Absorbs about 30 tons of CO2 per hectare per year (four times more than a European forest) 💧 Low moisture, from the land immediately ready for processing ♻️ Suitable for use in many sustainable materials, including bioplastic, bio-concrete and paper 🌱 No fertilisers needed For more 🟢PACKAGING SPOTLIGHTS🟢 visit our website: https://lnkd.in/eP7XSarC #sustainable #zerowaste #upcycled #upcycledbeauty #sustainability #naturalingredients #upcycledingredients #zerowasteingredients #upcyclingbeauty #upcycling #sustainablebeauty #plasticfree #sustainablepackaging

There have been some great material innovation and switches that have recently been released and massive props to the brands doing these (mainly shifting to paper based packaging) ... however it does raise a question and concern around the extra deforestation that may occur as a result? Yes you can recycle paper but it's not infinitely recyclable, it also can't be recycled if there's any food contamination. But, it's still more or less a single use material getting exploited and one that takes an INCREDIBLY long time to grow. There are some incredible options that exist such as Hemp and Bamboo paper requiring significantly less time to grow, but aren't quite there yet in terms of widespread acceptance and usage. So as great as this is, we hope to see some more sustainable material innovation coming through for long term success and environmental change. We'd love to know your thoughts on this, let us know in the comments below! #sustainability #sustainabledesign #plasticfree #paperpackaging #insights #marketresearch #research #environment

#DAY #FIVE #Greener #Alternatives #to #Plastics Embracing alternatives to single-use plastics is crucial for a sustainable future. 🌿 Eco-friendly options such as reusable bags, stainless steel or glass containers, and biodegradable packaging offer practical substitutes. Compostable utensils, bamboo straws, and plant-based materials present viable choices, minimizing environmental impact. Innovative packaging solutions like mushroom-based materials and edible cutlery showcase the potential for sustainable packaging. It's time to rally around these alternatives, promoting a greener, plastic-reduced lifestyle and creating a positive environmental impact. ♻️🌍 #PlastiPulse #ReshapingTomorrow #RecycleWithPurpose #PlasticRecyclingJourney

Hi there, connections I would like to discuss my recent experience working at a startup that mostly focuses on sustainability. The goal of sustainability is to satisfy present demands without endangering the capacity of future generations to satisfy their own. It includes pursuing social and economic balance, practicing environmental care, and managing resources responsibly. A sustainable strategy aims for long-term resilience and stability, seeking balance between human activity and the health of the world. Products made of paper mache can contribute to the achievement of sustainability. Because these items are readily recyclable, biodegradable, and reused. For instance, you could use a glass or metal flower vase. It can be challenging to dispose of a damaged flower vase if it broke for any reason. However, since paper products decompose naturally, if a vase breaks, it can be readily disposed of in a garden or other location. This is especially true when it comes to flower vases. Thus, utilizing paper goods will ultimately contribute to attaining sustainability. #SustainableLiving #GreenChoices #PlanetPositive #sustain #greendevelopment #greenenvironment #greenworld #paperproduct #paper #ecofriendly

Have you ever considered what could be an alternative to plastic-made straws, given their harmful impact on the environment? While paper straws seem an option, they often disintegrate and contain potentially risky wax coatings. Now, think about this: On average, a coconut tree sheds about 6 leaves annually, and each single leaf has the potential to yield 400-600 biodegradable straws. These leaves undergo a process involving drying, steaming, or soaking to soften them, then they're rolled or woven into straws. Remarkably, they take just three months to fully decompose in soil, offering an eco-friendly solution. Sunbird Straws, a Bengaluru-based company producing these straws priced between 3 to 10 rupees. They've already distributed over 20 million straws across more than 10 countries, showcasing a sustainable and innovative approach to replace plastic. The price may not lead to mass adoption on local shops but it can surely be adopted in restaurants and sell international. What do you think?

A recent study by 5 Gyres, a nonprofit organization, looked into biodegradable plastics and how they behave in the environment. It turns out that not all bioplastics break down as quickly as we might think. Factors like temperature and the presence of tiny organisms affect how fast they break down. For example, a bioplastic straw breaks down faster in the ocean than on land. The type and thickness of the bioplastic also matter. So, while bioplastics can help reduce pollution, they still have some environmental drawbacks. It's better to focus on reusable items for things like packaging, but in some cases, bioplastics can be useful. #bioplastics #environment #sustainability
