Sustainability
Real numbers from a real tannery, not vague claims.
We didn't add sustainability to our process. We built our process to be sustainable - measured in litres recycled, kilograms of salt recovered, and audits passed, not marketing language.
Measured, Not Claimed
Four initiatives, with the numbers behind them.
Lime Water Recycling System
Since 2015
Recycles roughly 600 KL (600,000 litres) of lime water annually, recovers 80% of re-lime liquor, reduces water use by 800 litres per ton of processed leather, and saves 15-25% on lime consumption.
Hair Saving Screen
UNIDO-selected, 2016
Recovers hair from the tanning process instead of chemically dissolving it, cutting Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) in effluent by 50%. Recovered hair is repurposed as organic fertiliser for green-belt development.
Mechanical Salt De-dusting
Recovers roughly 6 kg of salt per hide (versus roughly 3 kg manually), preventing an estimated 550 tons of salt from entering the environment each year and reducing effluent Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) by 15-20%.
Primary Effluent Treatment Plant (PETP) Upgrade
A mechanical sludge dewatering system independently assessed by the Central Leather Research Institute (CLRI), confirming compliance with environmental discharge norms.
Ongoing Commitments
Sustainability isn't a slogan.
- Zero-liquid-discharge tannery, treating and recycling process water on site.
- REACH-compliant chemicals used throughout tanning and finishing.
- Solar power supplementing the facility's energy load.
- ISO 14001 environmental management, independently audited.
