It covers how to validate information, build trustworthy supplier cooperation, align material properties with product functionality and aesthetics, and reduce material and waste. The canvas further addresses business model circularity, consumer communication, legal and regulatory frameworks, post-consumer recyclability, reparability, product lifespan, and ecosystem strategies to extend use and improve sustainability outcomes.",{"@graph":14,"@context":72},[15,34,55],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/","Research & Report",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/leather-product-design-canvas-for-sustainable-development/649979/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/leather-product-design-canvas-for-sustainable-development/649979.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Anna Hans","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-30","2026-10-24",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":26},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",{"@type":56,"mainEntity":57},"FAQPage",[58,64,68],{"name":59,"@type":60,"acceptedAnswer":61},"How does the canvas evaluate leather sourcing for sustainable development?","Question",{"text":62,"@type":63},"It asks for the geographic origin of the hide and the leather’s source (company/country), including socio-economic consequences of sourcing decisions.

What are socio-economic consequences from sourcing (and not sourcing) the leather from this origin?  \nCan you establish trustful and sustained cooperations with manufacturers?  \nTraceability  \nWhat can you trace regarding the origin of the leather and the chemicals used?  \nHow can you be sure the information you are receiving is valid? To what extent can you trace back chemicals used in during the production of the leather?  \nAppropriateness of Material Choice  \nWhat functional or aesthetic properties of the leather are used in your product?  \nHow does the material choice relate to the overall design? Can leather replace another (less sustainable) material? Can another (more sustainable) material replace leather?  \nMaterial Knowledge  \nWhat are all the relevant material options?  \nCan you ensure sustained supply of these materials?  \nBusiness Model  \nHow can you make your business model (more) circular?  \nMarketing & Communications  \nHow do you communicate so that consumers value how your product fosters sustainable development?  \nHow and how much information on chemicals, working conditions etc. do you share with your consumers?  \nType of Leather  \nIs the type of leather used (tanning process, animal origin, etc. )  \nappropriate for the products functionality and aesthetics?  \nChemicals & Finishing  \nDid the chemical managament during the production ensure a high level of protection of human health snd the environment? Does your finishing require specific (and potentially harmful) chemicals?  \nIs the finishing appropriate to the anticipated usage (e. g. does it lead to a higher usage of chemical protection or caring products?)?  \nMaterials  \nHow can you reduce the total number of materials used for your product?  \nWho is your Consumer?  \nWhat do you know about your target group regarding the usage and disposal of leather products?  \nWhat are their values, believes and behavioural patterns?  \nWhat do they know about sustainable development with regards to this product?  \nConsumer Behaviour Change  \nHow can your design foster more sustainable consumption patterns regarding your product (e. g. maintenance, sharing, repairing, etc. )? Can your design / marketing strategy increase awareness regarding sustainability issues in the context of leather products?  \nLegal aspects and business potentials  \nWhat are the relevant regulatory frameworks (e. g. EU Green Deal, REACH supply chain due diligence in terms of social and environmental aspects, ... )?  \nWhat are working and environmental standards at the locations your are sourcing from?  \nCan you find business opportunities derived from these regulatory impulses?  \nProcess Optimisation & Waste Avoidance [Pre-Consumer Aspects]  \nDoes producing your product create unnecessary waste (e. g. from splitting, cutting, etc.)?  \nCould you adapt the design in a way that producing your product require less harmful chemicals?  \nRecyclability & Circular Economy [Post-Consumer Aspects]  \nWhat happens with your product after its use-phase?  \nCan it be easily dissassembled? Are there collection points and other infrastructure that facilitate recycling? Can you use (or avoid) specific added materials, chemicals or processes to ensure or increase recyclability?  \nProduct Lifespan  \nHow do you extend the product life? How do you ensure a specific quality level?  \nReparability  \nHow can you increase reparability of your product? Can you help your consumer to repair (e. g. with services or additional products)?  \nLongevity  \nHow can you extent the product‘s lifetime?
