Résumé : |
With manufacturer and purchase sentiment shilling towards leathers that have less of an impact on society and the environment, the challenge for tanners is to maintain a top quality product while at the same time improving their environmental footprint. One way is to replace the traditional chemicals used in the beamhouse with natural biotech alternatives—which is exactlywhat Stahl's recently expanded Proviera® - Probiotics for leatherTM portfolio does.
It's no secret that beamhouse processes have a big impact on the sustainability of leather. First, processing hides and skins to produce leather generates high quantifies of wastewater and solid residues. In fact, nearly 70% of the wastewater in the traditional leather production process originates in the beamhouse. Second, every ton of salted bovine hide requires 500 kgs of synthetic chemicals to create 250 kgs of leather. This means that every kilogram reduction in synthetic chemicals required is a positive step and replacing traditional beamhouse chemicals with natural products can have a big impact in terms of reducing wastewater reduction and shrinking the environmental footprint. |
