Title A systematic review of innovations in tannery solid waste treatment: A viable solution for the circular economy
Year 2024

Abstract Amidst growing global demand for leather goods, the efficient conversion of rawhide and skins into durable leather is crucial, yet approximately 80 % of these materials become solid and liquid waste during tannery operations. Improper management of tannery solid waste poses significant environmental risks, contaminating soil, groundwater, and surface water. This review explores thermochemical, biological, and phytoremediation methods for treating tannery solid waste, emphasizing their role in resource recovery and environmental sustainability. Thermochemical techniques like pyrolysis and gasification convert tannery solid waste into biochar, bio-oil, and syngas, which serve as soil amendments, renewable energy sources, or industrial feedstocks. Biological methods such as composting and anaerobic digestion decompose organic tannery solid waste components into nutrient-rich compost and biogas. Phytoremediation uses plants to remediate contaminants, including heavy metals, from tannery solid waste. These methods mitigate environmental pollution and support the leather industry's transition to sustainable practices, crucial for compliance with global regulations. Moreover, the review offers insights into current efforts and perspectives aimed at achieving a zero-waste policy, emphasizing the importance of a circular economy to alleviate the environmental burden associated with tannery operations and ensure their continued sustainability. Finally, a detailed discussion on the current challenges in terms of technology accessibility and economic feasibility was also discussed.
