Scientific advances in fields like nanotechnology are transforming the tanning of skins. In Europe, age-old traditions are giving way to an industry that relies on R&D to produce leather products with innovative properties and make processes more sustainable. The Igualada-based A³ Chair in Leather Innovation, in which the UPC participates, has become an internationally recognised technology partner in the leather cluster.
