#KnowYourLeather Campaign
The campaign aims to use the power of information to educate the community on the consequences, possibilities and best practices of the fashion industry.
Did you know?
- Popular fabrics like cotton yarn and polyester fibre had a global market size of $94.4 billion and $96.4 billion respectively in 2022. Leather products on the other hand had a market size of a whopping $419 billion!
- Leather industry is one of the most polluting industries due to the tanning process. The wastewater discharge from Asian tanneries is more than 350 million metre cube per annum and the solid waste generation is about 4 million tons per year.
- The ever increasing demand for ethical leather goods is driving the use of eco-friendly leather alternatives which use pineapple leaves, apple peels and even fungus!

Fashion has been used for ages to express individual identity, social status, and cultural heritage. It has made it an integral part of our culture and has played a significant role in defining social norms and traditions.
