Molds can pose a risk to human health and cause irreversible damage to leather and footwear products (discoloration, unpleasant smells). Some produce mycotoxins that can lead to neurological damage and even death.
Preventing mold spread during manufacturing, storage and packing protects your workforce and reduces the risk of lost sales, costly product recalls and possible brand damage.
