XLOOP

Together with our partners from tanning chemistry, we succeeded in developing a compostable leather. The production waste is also biodegradable.

In the tanning process, chromium or glutaraldehyde are avoided entirely and only an organically based, synthetic tanning agent is used. This enables a resource-saving process with significantly reduced water consumption and lower use of chemicals and salts. This also relieves the burden on production wastewater, which in turn simplifies its purification.

XLOOP has a wide range of applications, as this tanning process can be used to produce both full and soft leathers as well as firm, sturdy leathers.
