cotton and wool over synthetic fossil fuel-based materials.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d810423 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\"

environmental impact of consumer goods.<\/p>\n<p>The Perwanger tannery welcomes the leather manifesto. Lorenz Perwanger, nature lover and owner of the family business, explains the reasons to us: The Perwanger tannery is dedicated to producing high-quality, extremely robust special leathers for hiking, forestry and work shoes. As a global supplier for shoes of leading outdoor brands, the traditional South Tyrolean tannery Perwanger has felt connected to nature for more than 200 years. And today, too, there is a focus on the protection of the native Alpine region, traditional craftsmanship and a holistic view of nature.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ecada10 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"ecada10\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3e68bb5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3e68bb5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Mr. Perwanger, what does the Leather Manifesto want and what does it demand?<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-013f857 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"013f857\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f741750 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f741750\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Nature lovers in particular also want to preserve and protect nature with their purchasing decisions for outdoor products, clothing, equipment and footwear for hunting, forestry work, alpine sports or hiking. This long overdue manifesto calls for nothing less than a rethink in the assessment of the environmental impact of synthetic materials compared to natural leather.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, leather products have been accused in the media of being harmful and not environmentally friendly in terms of animal welfare and due to water-intensive tanning. Reports on leather production under irresponsible working and environmental conditions in Asia have also brought European leather manufacturers into disrepute and subsequently led to a boom in synthetic materials among outdoor outfitters. <\/p>\n<p>With its manifesto, the association of the international leather industry now wants to stop this trend and have the environmental and climate impacts of the raw materials for outdoor products re-examined and corrected.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, what has been neglected in previous considerations is above all the view of the entire product life cycle &#8211; from the production of the material to the incineration of the end product as waste. Synthetic materials are produced with considerable energy and resource consumption. Most chemically produced fibres are also made from fossil fuels, put simply: using petroleum. How damaging this is to the climate should be obvious to us by now.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e9e5c39 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"e9e5c39\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9d3d0a7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9d3d0a7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Mr Perwanger, let&#8217;s take a look at possible pollutants for nature and for the skin.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1ffc314 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"1ffc314\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5ad96a9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5ad96a9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Manifesto wants to point out that due to a preference for synthetics over leather, a lot of damage is done to the environment.<\/p>\n<p>Not only the worrying CO2 footprint in manufacturing, but also the environmental impact that is created during the use of synthetic materials can now hardly be overlooked: To make synthetic materials as comfortable, waterproof and breathable as leather, they are often treated with PFC (per- and polyfluorinated chemicals). The harmful PFC substances from the abrasion of clothing and shoes are hardly broken down and accumulate in nature. PFC can already be detected everywhere in nature, right up to the loneliest mountain regions and remotest lakes.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, the desire for factual clarification is particularly close to my heart, not only as a manufacturer of leather, but above all as a mountain person and lover of our alpine flora and fauna. In the spirit of the Leather Manifesto, I hope to give impulses for rethinking with my commitment as well.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s also take up the already mentioned accusations regarding animal welfare and water pollution: These refer exclusively to irresponsible leather producers.<\/p>\n<p>The opposite is true for European tanners and for us: with the Perwanger tannery, for example, we have always been committed to a uniquely high leather quality. And this starts with the search for the highest quality raw materials. We have always found what we are looking for on our own doorstep: To this day, we mainly refine hides from cattle from the Alpine region. These mountain cattle are often raised in a natural environment, they spend their summers on alpine pastures, and many of &#8216;our&#8217; alpine farmers even run organic farms. We have a good reason for our choice. The hides of the robust mountain cattle are thicker and more resistant than those of cattle kept indoors, or worse: from factory farming. Alpine cattle have a wonderful life &#8211; out in the mountain nature and in the clear air of the high-altitude meadows.<\/p>\n<p>It is especially important to me to emphasise: Not a single animal has to die for the leather production. The hides come exclusively from cattle from meat and dairy farming. We tanners &#8211; here again I can speak for all European tanneries &#8211; refine with the hide a part of the animal that would simply be waste without our work.

If you wear a full-grain leather mountain boot (full-grain leather is what it is called when the inner lining and outer skin are made of leather), then you will probably experience what I mean by these unique properties: our Perwanger leather is reliably waterproof like natural skin &#8211; no rain or water can penetrate the boot. And yet it conducts moisture from the inside to the outside. The foot does not develop a sweaty smell and the supple wearing comfort of skin-friendly leather cannot be compared with any other material in my opinion. In addition, our tanning processes give the leather a scratch resistance and robustness that makes it possible that, with a little care, the shoe can be worn for years, perhaps for a lifetime.<\/p>\n<p>This incomparably long service life is an important argument for the sustainability of leather compared to plastics, because with every pair of shoes that does not have to be thrown away and produced anew, raw materials and energy resources are conserved to a considerable extent.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-76ca59b elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"76ca59b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a8e2d9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6a8e2d9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Mr Perwanger, in summary, do you wish manufacturers and consumers would take a new look at leather products?<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-556d7e3 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"556d7e3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-50555c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"50555c7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Of course - I can only wish for that because of the arguments already mentioned for the mountain world, for our environment and for our future.
