Three Things To Know About Our Leather
Be The Positive One
1. No Nasty Metals
The final leather is heavy metal and chrome-free, which is not only good for the environment but for your health as well. Metals used in the tanning process of ‘regular’ leather can, when sweating, be absorbed by the skin.
2. Reduction In Water Consumption
The amount of water used in the process from raw hides to the final leather is heavily reduced. The pre-treatment of the raw hides require less water and there is a water re-usage in the tanning process.
3. Lower Emissions of CO2
The process of achieving the Oak Tanned leather also contributes to a healthier environment and human beings through lower emissions of CO2 as well as keeping the emission of the cancerogenic gas Formaldehyde to a minimum.
