The worldwide economic importance of the leather industry is undeniable, as it converts a by-product of the meat industry, the hides, into a value-added product. However, processing of leather generates thousands of tons of new solid waste annually and, unlike hides, this waste has a low biodegradability. Usually, the tanning process is carried out using basified trivalent chromium salts. As a result, a substantial part of the solid waste is chromium-tanned and normally disposed of through landfill or incineration processes, despite the possible ecological consequences. This waste is responsible for the main ecological challenges caused by tanneries. As chromium leather waste mainly consists of collagen (organic matter), this waste can be ...
