> Low Carbon Leather
Environmental issues are increasingly important, leading to more and more "Green Standards".
Until now ISO14000 has been the most exacting measure of environmental commitment, and Andrew Muirhead are proud to hold
to this comprehensive award.
But for us, it just isn't enough.
What is Low Carbon Leather?
It's a product of our commitment to the environment and to sustainability. It's a product of our investment in research into new cleaner
tanning technologies and production processes. It's a product of our policy to reducing hide miles by sourcing hides within 300 miles
of the factory.
It is a leather that so far exceeds all the existing Green standards that a new standard has had to be created for it.
It is the new standard for low carbon leather. And it applies to all Muirhead leathers.
