DNA Traceability

Typically, the supply networks of leading brands and retailers comprise multiple tiers across numerous continents. Accordingly, the complexity of such supply chains directly contributes to difficulties in management and is further exacerbated by the vast networks of independent suppliers, manufacturers, and raw material sources across the leather sector.

Chrome VI Risks

Chromium is an element that can occur in three main forms. Elemental chromium is metallic chromium and used in the formation of stainless steel or chromium plating. Trivalent chromium (Cr III) is a safe form of the element and is essential for human nutrition. It is also the form used for tanning leather. Chromium VI is the hazardous form of the element.

Chemical Testing

Chemical testing is vital to ensure that products entering the marketplace are safe, fit for purpose and compliant with legislation. Legislation varies across the globe, which can prove to be a difficult and challenging task for global manufacture and supply chain management. As consumers are becoming more aware of product safety issues, businesses need to ensure they comply with regional and international chemical regulation.
