The certified tanning process for biodegradable and compostable leather
The waste shall be disposed of in approved bio-waste facilities.
Each tonne of this leather sent for industrial composting corresponds to the non-emission of approximately 120 kg. of CO2 in the environment.
Composting is the most virtuous recovery process because it reduces CO2 emissions by 60% compared to hydrolysis and/or waste-to-energy.
GAIOLE is the tanning process of the La Scarpa Tannery to generate
high-performance leather with high environmental value.
Biocircularity at 360°
Start as natural skin.
End of life: degradability in organic compost.
Can be used as a fertiliser suitable for organic farming
(high content of nitrogen and carbon)
ENHANCEMENT OF GAIOLE WASTE BY COMPOSTING
A new value to leather waste
The tanning process is now more environmentally friendly, thanks to sustainable raw materials and systems that reduce CO2 emissions.
Among these, the management of leather waste for the creation of organic compost, is the most virtuous method.
GAIOLE production waste or leather products at the end of life to recovery, are accepted in composting plants following the approval of the BIODEGRADABLE AND COMPOSTABLE LEATHER certification.
