In addition to enormous electrical demands, chrome refining processes generate their own forms of pollution, including chromic dusts & industrial effluent like “slag”. A Zimbabwe study found chromium soil contamination 700 meters downwind of a ferrochrome smelter.

Polyurethane-coated fabrics generate a lot of pollution, but don’t hold a candle to the pollution of leather production:
-carbon from the ranch
-nitrates from the slaughterhouse
-ferrochrome from the smelter
-chromic oxide from the tannery
Leather is by far the worst fashion industry on Earth.

Does your remit extend to chrome and metal tapes, or is it purely ferric? Is there dispensation for ferrochrome or is that heresy?

Like to explain how nuts the simulation here is, to make Chromium:
First make aluminum by melting bauxite and and adding carbon at high temp
Then melt chromite, add carbon, you get ferrochrome, and throw aluminum into there.
And you do all of this in the falling sand game, its amazing.
