Fleshing is necessary for removing unnecessary flesh from the hides, to make them even and also to open up the pores to help in chemical penetration.

In New Zealand we do it a lot better and faster

@@jonojono6020 Would like to see it. Any chance someone there can do a similar video?

It's in the video, close to the beginning. All the tanneries in this area have a shared water treatment plant that manages the waste water

They pour it into the local landscape

@@iamallaboutfood7242 I hope some of those chemicals can be recovered and used again. The supply is finite ... not infinite. And would save the environment.

@@AmericanBusinessman422 Nope, apparently from one of the comments the liquids go through a special water purification plant. It would be nice if they could re-use some of the salts. The supply is finite, not infinite ... Would be interesting to see that process and have it explained in detail.

Hello Nura Zackaria, im also interested in starting the tannery business, is there any supplier you can recommend?, i'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks

@@mwankhalil5366 where do u want? Where are u from? Alhamdullilah I can but let me know which place are u looking for a supplier?

@@nurazackria739 i live in iraq, can I have your phone number please? Thanks

Is your tannery located in india

This is a difficult question that i dont expect you will get a good response on. all leathers up to about 1980s were made using a vegetable tanning process. natural barks and tannins were used to preserve the leather. the by product could safely be poured on your lawn if you wanted, and the tanning solution was far less damaging on the leather itself. the leather would come out with a nice, natural colour, and the fibers were far less damaged in the tanning process. however, it would take much longer (weeks, rather than hours), and the leather felt more stiff right from the tannery and needed time to be broken in. as a result, the chromium tanning process took over. almost all leather today is manufactured with this process, however, the byproducts are extremely dangerous and need to be carefully managed. also, the leather is also far more damaged and discoloured after the tanning process. in order to hide the blue colours, tanneries will have to heavily dye their leathers. you can find many vegetable tanned hides that sill show their beautiful grains through a fairly translucent finish (check out horween or wickett and craig). however, the opaque dyes of the chrome tanning process leaves the hides looking a little flat and even. as a result, they will be stamped with this cell like grain to give some surface variation. after nearly 40 years of this stamped effect dominating the market, consumers now expect this artificial grain pattern on "premium" leathers and believe this is what leather naturally looks like. there are a few chrome tanned leathers where they use dyes to make the effect of surface variations, but this is still not the true grain, which is well hidden. anyway, chrome tanned leather isnt "bad", it has its place in garment and furniture since it is softer and cheaper, but look for veg tan wherever possible. its better for the environment, more rugged, and will show patina with use (whereas chrome tan will just wear out).

Lower quality hides, with more surface markings such as insect bites, scratches from thorny bushes, stone walls, fences etc are usually embossed. This hides the worst of the defects and allows more of the hide to be used. Auto manufacturers design their own particular grains (such as BMW's Dakota & Montana, Range Rover Taurus) and apply it to their leather trimmed cars, but these are usually the lower priced trim lebels. The higher priced trim levels (such as Range Rover Vogue/Autobiography) will use a natural Nappa type of leather with no artificial embossed grain, but a higher quality hide is required as every marking will be visible. These hides as a result are more expensive, but look better and feel softer because they are not subject to the immense pressure that is applied by the plate or roller that imparts the grain. So in short, embossed/grained leathers are more economical for the trimmer to use compared to the natural Nappa or semi aniline types, but they do not look as good, or feel as soft as the leathers that do not have the artificial grain embossed onto them, Yes you are correct, many people are not aware that it is a fake grain and that a natural grain by contrast, is smooth.

Hi, this Isabirye from Uganda (Africa), please can you help me with your feeding process of retanning thanks

AFIF leather trade in Bangladesh

Can you give me your exact address and real full name?

It's pretty unnerving to see all those dead animals.

Then stop eating meat, and cheese, and butter, and drinking milk, then we will stop using animals and consign them to history like all the horses that we no longer see now that we have tractors, trucks etc.

Yeah. they show these beautiful landscapes but half the locals are probably dying of cancer.

I don't work for Optima but I did work in the trade some time ago. Actually achieving a deep true black through dying alone is quite difficult to achieve. We kept our dye formulations a trade secret especially for clothing leathers. However, what we also did was redye black our failures, the stuff we couldn't get correctly color matched or samples we'd done which ultimately we weren't going to put in full production. That you could probably get at a lower price as long as you wanted at least 2 or 300 sq ft minimum. Back in the day we also sold cheaply into the former USSR so as to maintain prices in the US and European markets.

@@tomroland2315 Thank you Tom for that informative feedback. I just assumed that it was cheaper for Vehicle Manufacturers to trim their vehicles in Black, be it leather or cloth. I guess I came to this conclusion, as virtually all vehicles across all brand names and model variants we find are trimmed in black, and but a few up market models in the luxury range, trimmed in Beige leather. My biggest gripe with vehicle interiors having black trim, is that it gives one a closed in feeling, whereas a vehicle trimmed in a lighter shade of beige or even light grey gives an air of spaciousness. Cheers...

@@davidhamilton506 I guess a single color keeps things simple regarding quality control for the mass market.

@@tomroland2315 Yes, That must be it. Anyhow thanks for taking the time out to answer my initial inquiry, cheers...

Ask some other search hafeez sons tanners on google

Animal skins are 15% of the total value derived from most farm animals reared for meat and leather. Not using leather would kill demand for hides causing farmers to hike meat prices which would discourage meat consumption in-turn. Not everyone needs to go vegan. Not even most people. We just need to be responsible about where we get our protein in relation to its impact on the environment. I eat fish every day. I eat chicken once a week and red meat once in two weeks. This is a very good diet. People may or may not need animal protein to survive, I don't know. However, we do know for a fact that we don't need as much as we're consuming.

My apologies Edith, I read the question in your comment wrong initially, and have now deleted it. Cheers...

@@varun009 I love meat, and can’t imagine living without ever eating it again, however, it’s terrible for the environment, and I can probably go for a week or two without it.
