COMPANY SUSTAINABILITY
We also made a definition of the characteristics of sustainability and respect for the environment for the ‘full cycle’ vegetable tanning of ‘Monteverdi’, with the cooperation of the University of Florence and the technological centre PO.TE.CO. in Santa Croce sull’Arno.
Sustainability and degradability will be the enhancement topics of our articles.
Below, the logo identifying the results of the research:

Sustainable vegetable leather:
Identifies the Monteverdi sustainable full cycle vegetable tanning.

Degradable:
The tests to verify the degradability of vegetable tanned leathers have been carried out at the PO.TE.CO. – Tanning Technological Pole (Santa Croce sull’Arno, Pi). The results of the tests indicate a degradability of about 90% for the leather.

Min. water usage:
The innovation and sustainability projects envisage the total reuse of the water from the incoming purification treatment with the consequent less waste of water.

Cruelty Free:
We use only hides from animals used for the meat production. It is therefore a sustainable process since the slaughtering waste constitutes the raw material for the leather production.

Non-Toxic:
a) due to the absorption of heavy metals or che-mical molecules from the process phases as it is certified as wholly vegetable tanning.
b) for exhalations of volatile molecules controlled as a product-induced release.
c) for the evaluation of the presence of heavy metals in contact with the human skin.

Allergenic Metal Free:
The test performed doesn’t show the release of heavy metals on the strap surface.

Antifungal Properties:
Tests carried out on vegetable tanned leather have shown antifungal properties.

Antibacterial Properties:
Tests carried out on vegetable tanned leather have shown bacteriostatic properties.
