Environment & Sustainability

Leather is a by-product of the meat and dairy industry — a natural, biodegradable material far removed from petroleum-based synthetics. Terrahide Global only partners with tanneries certified for responsible water treatment, chrome-free tanning options, and traceable hide origin.

Every year, the leather industry diverts over 73 million tonnes of by-product from global landfill through environmentally aware regulation and reuse.

Why Terrahide

What a sourcing partner should actually do

We audit before we buy

Every tannery passes a four-stage audit — site inspection, certification review, trial batch, and annual re-audit — before a single hide enters our network.

We hold stock locally

Regional warehousing across four continents means stocked grades ship in days, not months — and freight emissions stay down.

Every hide is traceable

Give us a batch number and we'll return the tannery, the region, and the certification documents behind it. No exceptions.

One team, start to finish

The person who quotes your order is the person who follows it through production, QC, and delivery. No handoffs, no ticket queues.

Questions

Before you reach out

What's your minimum order quantity?

Most upholstery grades start from a single hide. Custom colourways may carry a minimum run — contact us with your specs for an exact quote.

How long does a sample request take?

Stocked swatches ship within 2-3 business days. Custom-matched samples from our tannery network can take 1-2 weeks depending on origin.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes — we serve clients across 42 countries with regional warehousing to reduce freight time and cost.

Can I visit a tannery in person?

Trade partners can arrange tannery visits through our sourcing team — availability depends on the partner tannery's schedule.

What's your lead time for bulk orders?

In-stock grades typically ship within 5-7 business days. Made-to-order runs vary by tannery — we'll confirm a timeline at quote stage.
