Sustainable leather production

September 25, 2026 · AUK Tannery

Leather is a by-product of the food industry. Using these hides turns something that would be waste into a long lasting material. Responsible tanneries go further by protecting people and the environment.

Saving water

Modern tanneries reuse water in the process and treat all wastewater on site before it leaves the factory.

Managing chemicals

Chemicals are stored safely, measured carefully and replaced with gentler options wherever the final product allows.

Reducing waste

Trimmings and shavings can be turned into other useful products instead of being thrown away. Better planning also means more energy saved in every batch.
