Italy University Says It Develops Green Tanning Technology.

They say that this process uses a metal free tanning agent, which reduces the environmental impact of the leather making process and has the opportunity to bring innovation to the enterprise's production process.

In this time Research Tanning agents used in the project are renewable resources, non-toxic and biodegradable. The degradation of molecules can be easily obtained in the biota (biomass) of Tuscany (Tuscany) area, which is the key to this study.

The research results show that it is possible to produce finished leather with high quality and aesthetic standards through this process, and can also give consideration to environmental and economic double. Sustainability 。

The research team led by Professor Anna Maria Raspolli Galletti of University of Pisa tested the technology in the University of Pisa laboratory and the technical center of St. Croce (Santa Croce).

She explained that the new materials used were never used in other industrial or academic fields in the world. The most valuable aspect of this innovation is its non toxicity and renewable raw materials.

Professor Galletti did not give too much detail about this new material. She just said it came from food waste in Tuscany. conversion The process is environmentally friendly and economical.
