Professor Francis Mulaa, a leading researcher and project leader at BioInnovate Africa, discusses groundbreaking advancements in leather processing.
Enzyme technology is transforming the traditionally polluting tannery industry into a cleaner, eco-friendly process. Professor Mulaa explains how enzymes, or "microbial juices," are replacing harsh chemicals, drastically reducing the dehairing process time, and eliminating the notorious foul odors associated with tanneries.
In this episode, he explains the science behind these enzymes, their potential to revolutionize various industries, and how this innovative technology could lead to pollution-free tanneries that can operate closer to communities. This is the future of sustainable leather production and environmental conservation.
