About Luis A Zugno
It\'s all about Innovation. I believe we are on a verge to develop innovative new materials that can replace synthetic, oil based substrates, creating biodegradable surfaces for consumer products. My career has been in the development of innovative chemicals and processes optimizing the chemistry and application, particularly on leather, also had the opportunity to develop technology applied to manmade non-woven substrates. I\'m passionate on what I do and love to get things done. My experience includes innovation, product development, project management, scientific work and feasibility studies. I have travelled globally and had the opportunity to work in multi cultural environments. My activities include the IULTCS Secretariat and Leather Naturally Management Board member. At Leather Naturally we are creating Educational articles on sustainability, natural resources, traceability, carbon footprint and biobased materials.
