The abundant hydroxyl groups (-OH) of vegetable tanned leather enhances the bacterial growth possibility. In this work, antibacterial vegetable tanned leather was developed taking advantage of chitosan antibacterial activity. Different chitosan utilization method was conducted, namely drum impregnation and spraying. Antibacterial testing was carried out using agar diffusion method to identify the effect of chitosan against Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus). The results showed that the use of 1% (w/v) chitosan by spraying method tends to be more effective in improving the antibacterial properties of vegetable tanned leather. While, the leather sample of drum impregnation at initial pH 4 has the lowest antibacterial activity among others. The results of FTIR analysis showed that there was no significant difference between control and chitosan modified tanned leather, confirming the similar functional groups between it.

The use of sodium chloride for the preservation of pelts and skins destined for tanning is a very widespread technique in Peru, therefore the quantities used of this salt represent high concentrations of chlorides in the liquid effluents that are generated, which can affect the environmental quality of ecosystems and human health. The present study aimed to estimate an allowable concentration of chlorides in tanning effluents using ecotoxicological tools so that it would serve as a guide for the tanning industry and the authorities in their efforts to establish better conservation practices and effluent control parameters, which are currently absent from national environmental legislation. The permissible concentration of chlorides was determined using bioassays with seeds of Lactuca sativa species (lettuce), which was exposed to soaking effluents obtained from local tanneries. The studied species was determined based on sensitivity tests to zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) applied to three commercial lettuce species. The selected lettuce seed presented a germination rate higher than 90%, a CV lower than 30% and an IC50 of 38.97 mg/L of Zn+2 with a confidence interval between 19.30 mg/L and 58.65 mg/L of Zn+2. The admissible guide concentration determined for chlorides in soaking effluents from IC50 was 582.30 mg/L with a minimum value of 258.45 mg/L and a maximum of 906.15 mg/L. Additionally, because of the presence of other pollutants in the soaking effluents, such as bactericides, organic matter, enzymes and salts added in soaking process, tests with synthetic solutions of sodium chloride at the same concentrations of the soaking effluents were conducted, to evaluate the effect produced by those substances.

This paper presents the process of obtaining biodegradable polymeric composites based on post-consumption thermoplastic polyurethane and post-consumption vulcanized rubber waste, in various ratios (5, 10, 20, 30, 50%), cryogenically ground to min. 100 nm, and maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene as compatibilizer between the two phases. This composite will be formed into a low-density product, with low cost, recovery and reuse of waste, containing post-consumption polymers, and last but not least, biodegradable. The methodology for making the new materials involves the following steps: sorting waste, grinding, functionalization and compounding. These operations are easy to manage and do not involve new equipment. Compounding, the most important operation, will be carried out on a corotating twin-screw extruder-granulator with the possibility to adjust parameters such as temperature and speed depending on the material, having a screw ratio (L/D-35). The tested biodegradable composites were characterized structurally and physico-mechanically. Waste transformation (ground and functionalized) into new value-added products will lead to remarkable improvements in the life cycle of raw materials and the responsible use of this waste, contributing to sustainability, improving eco-efficiency and economic efficiency and reducing the “pressure” of waste on the environment.
