Abstract

The aim of this study is to demonstrate that tanned waste leather can be successfully incorporated in cement matrix and the resulted composite material can be proposed as construction material. The composite leaching tests for total chromium (maximum concentration registered = 2.76 mg/kg), which is the most used tanning agent, shown low levels in leachate lower than maximum allowed concentration MAC for non-hazardous waste (MAC = 10 mg/kg). The study proposes a new environmentally friendly recycling method for tanned leather waste.

Keywords: leather; waste; recycling; composite material
