GTS AutoLeather, now called Pangea, is rethinking how to do leather

To handle that, the enterprise now operates a “re-tanning” procedure in Leon, Mexico, identified as BioPolymer SynTec.

The line puts Pangea’s leather-based shavings as a result of a process that pulls out synthetic chemical substances and replaces them with a bio-centered chemical that minimizes squander from Pangea’s tanneries.

The resulting content is a leather-based that Pangea believes is aesthetically superior to what shoppers are made use of to. But much more essential, the CEO claimed, the biochemicals lessen Pangea’s carbon footprint and lower the expense composition.

There is much more likely for lower-expense authentic leather-based, he extra, and transforming the chemistry of tanning will play a significant role.

“What the current market needs is much more sustainability,” he claimed. “We feel sustainability shouldn’t expense shoppers much more — it should expense less. By getting expense out of our content, we imagine we can make leather-based much more competitive and make sustainability much more available.”
