Conscious solution for conscious brands There is a gap to fill for brands between believing to source responsible leather and knowing to make the responsible decision. Traceability and LCA data on leather will become increasingly important to document sustainable actions. SPOOR technology makes it possible to document the conditions under which the animal grew up, a crucial step towards transparency on animal welfare. SPOOR technology is a traceability assurance and guarantee of the leather for brands. Add Nera’s solution Zeology for compostable leather to the equation and you have one of the most conscious solutions to conscious brands.
