Abstract

One of the manufacturing industries that has the potential to have an impact on the environment is the leather processing industry. The leather and leather goods industry consists of industries that process raw leather into leather and leather goods industries. The leather tanning industry is an industry that converts raw animal skins into tanned leather through three stages: beam house, tanning, and post-tanning stages. This tanned leather is then used as raw material for the manufacture of various leather products such as shoes, bags, jackets, belts, and other leather crafts.
The leather tanning industry produces liquid and solid wastes that have the potential to have a negative impact on the environment. Meanwhile, industries that make leather products produce solid waste in the form of patchwork. If the disposal of the leather patch accumulates for a long time, it will certainly be a problem for the surrounding environment.
Industrial symbiosis is a form of cooperation between different industries. This form of cooperation can increase the profits of each industry and ultimately have a positive impact on the environment. This article will discuss how the leather tanning industry and the leather processing industry work together to minimize the waste generated.
