Abstract

The leather industry in China has a long historical standing, but the problems of high pollution and high consumption have existed for a long time. With the countryʼs increasing awareness of environmental protection, the leather industry in China is facing tremendous problems such as high environmental pressure, low corporate management, low-tech production methods, and poor technological innovation capabilities. In response to these problems, Chinese tannery companies have actively reformed and innovated for the sustainable development of the leather industry by gradually improving the internal construction, actively assuming environmental responsibilities, and intensifying innovation. After surveying and researching the leather industry in China, this paper examines the development trend of Chinese leather industry and the countermeasures for existing problems, theoretically lays a firm base and provides necessary references for the sustainable development of the Chinese leather industry.
