Students at the University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences (UVAS) recently participated in a session on sustainability in Pakistan’s leather industry. The discussion centered on traceability, cleaner production, and circular economy practices to address environmental challenges.
Led by WWF Pakistan and supported by The SMEP Programme with technical input from UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the initiative aims to make the leather sector more eco-friendly and globally competitive.
Key Focus Areas:
- Traceability in the Leather Value Chain
- Cleaner Production Techniques
- Circular Economy Practices
The session emphasized the role of students in driving sustainable change through innovation and advocacy. Collaboration between academia, industry, and global partners is crucial for creating a cleaner, greener future.
