<p>The paper presents the results of tests, and an evaluation of sheep leather quality, tanned according to the new chrome-free tanning technology. The leathers were tested for physico-chemical parameters and antimicrobial activity. The tests were performed in accordance with Polish standards. Sheep leathers tanned according to the technology developed were characterized by high durability, health and hygiene parameters. Sheep leather samples protected with a zinc pyrithione formulation, showed effective action against all pathogenic bacteria and fungi used in the study. Anti-decubitus sheets, made of sheep leathers with fleece were tested during use by immobilized people lying for a long time. The sheets were rated as comfortable for the sick in the prevention of bedsores and the formation of other skin lesions.</p>

Chrome-Free Sheep Leathers with Antimicrobiological Protection for Medical and Therapeutic Applications

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<p>The textile and clothing industry is one of the most resource-intensive and polluting industries. The circular economy (CE) is one of the solutions to these problems. The textile industry has been identified as one of the most in need of transformation towards CE. The transition to a circular economy requires changes in the behavior and actions of all market players. Consumer interest in sustainability and the CE can stimulate companies to be more responsible and offer more circular solutions. This article analyses the knowledge and attitudes of consumers, adults living in Lodz (Poland), towards new circular models in the fashion industry (e.g. rent, repair). The development of the clothing rental service is still insufficient, but repair and the use of online portals to sell/buy second-hand clothing is becoming increasingly popular. However, it is still necessary to orient people towards environmentally friendly activities.</p>
