Developing countries have benefited from industrialization, but at the same time are suffering from the environmental deterioration resulting from this; people of China have begun to pay better attention to this in recent decades (Ling and Issac, 1996). Recently, some tanneries in Chinese rich provinces such as Zhejian and Jangsu have been closed down or transferred to remote areas due to generation of heavy pollution (Jian et al., 2011). In Brazil, the adoption of pollution prevention approaches still find a certain resistance among companies, which have seen it more as an additional cost than an improvement opportunity (Silva and Medeiros,2004).
