Low carbon products to design leather processes based om sustainable tannins to improve leather manufacture (LOWEST)

Project reference: E! 6565 CIIP20112020
The main objective of the LOWEST project consists of the design of new pre-tanning and re-tanning formulations based on the use of the fruit of the Tara tree as a source of vegetable tannins, to promote sustainability in the manufacture of leather goods from high quality. It is intended to replace or reduce the use of synthetic agents used in the production of wet-white leather through the use of these sustainable tannins.
