In an age where sustainability drives innovation, olive tanned leather caters to a heightened focus on material awareness and longevity, a compelling blend of environmental consciousness and skilled tradition.
What is Olive Tanning?
Olive tanning is an innovative leather-making method that uses alternative, plant-based tannins to preserve hides. The patented wet-green® OBE tanning agent used is made from fallen olive tree leaves, branches and other olive harvest residues sourced in the Mediterranean.
A Circular Approach to Leather
Rather than burning or discarding the natural waste from olive harvesting, it is collected and brewed like tea to be transformed into high-quality, bio-based tanning solution. This circular approach conserves resources, reduces reliance on mined chemicals and requires less water.
Reducing Waste & Recycling
Olive tanning is an exciting advancement in leather production, offering a powerful combination of waste reduction and recycling.
