Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important issue in the leather industry. Modern, future-oriented leather production must bring economic interests, ecological soundness, and consumer benefit into line. Achieving this balance and turning it into a valuable asset for our partners in the leather industry: that’s the basic idea behind this. Our initiative is a holistic concept that tackles the challenges of sustainable development systematically along the entire value chain. It encompasses the entire life cycle of the leather – with clearly defined development targets in the following areas :
- Developing new products and chemical systems whose components are
largely based on renewable raw materials and which do not use any
substances with critical toxicological properties
- Improving processes by reducing energy and water requirements,
making more efficient use of chemicals and finding new ways of using
by-products
- Improving leather properties in terms of sustainability during
and after use: longer service life, low leather consumption and good
recycling possibilities
We already has a comprehensive portfolio of leather chemicals that offers these benefits. Our innovative premium products that are specifically tailored to sustainable leather production and enable us to offer our customers first-class performance, while at the same time helping them to protect the environment along the entire value chain.
