Health Risks:

Improper solid waste disposal practices by tanneries can pose significant health risks to nearby communities. When waste materials are burned openly, toxic gases and particulate matter are released into the air, leading to respiratory issues such as asthma, bronchitis, and other respiratory illnesses. Children, the elderly, and individuals with pre-existing respiratory conditions are particularly vulnerable. At Ethio Tannery, we prioritize responsible waste management practices to minimize air pollution and protect the health of local residents.

Odor and Nuisance:

Improperly managed solid waste from tanneries can emit foul odors, causing discomfort and nuisance for local communities. The strong and persistent smells can disrupt daily activities, reduce the quality of life, and affect mental well-being. Residents living in close proximity to tanneries may have to endure unpleasant odors on a regular basis, making it difficult to enjoy outdoor activities or even open windows for ventilation. Ethio Tannery is committed to minimizing odor emissions through proper waste management practices, ensuring a healthier and more pleasant environment for everyone.

Livelihood and Economic Impacts:

Poor waste management practices by tanneries can have negative impacts on local livelihoods and economic activities. If environmental pollution deters tourists and investors, it can lead to reduced revenue for businesses and limited job opportunities. For example, the foul odor and visible pollution caused by tannery waste can discourage tourists from visiting the area, resulting in decreased income for hotels, restaurants, and local artisans who rely on tourism-related activities. Ethio Tannery recognizes the importance of sustainable practices in supporting local economies and is committed to minimizing our environmental impact while fostering economic growth.
