Circular Manufacturing
Using waste as fuel. Sealing the deal on our patented circular manufacturing proces
Not only do we convert solid waste to steam, we have an innovative take-back scheme that converts end-of-life leather into fuel for our thermal energy plant. Old leather contributes to the manufacture of new - a circular manufacturing proces
We are proud to be a Circular Glasgow ambassador, putting Scotland at the forefront of the circular economy.
When it comes to the tanning process, this is where our circular manufacturing comes into its own.
We generate co-products which are sold on to be re-used as raw materials in a wide range of other industries, including the food and biofuel sectors.
In developing our own renewable driven, self-heating system we have already reduced the amount of waste sent to landfill by 89% in 2023. This reduction in landfill is a major landmark in our journey to zero waste by 2025.
