Climate-friendly
and sustainable production
Our Climate Profile
Climate-friendly fish leather
Our fish leather is sourced from fish that are already part of food production. This makes it a natural part of the circular economy, where the raw material is a by-product of seafood production with a low climate footprint.
Our Environmental Profile
Environmentally friendly tanning methods
Traditional tanning is both harmful to human health and highly damaging to the environment due to pollution from toxic chemicals. In the future, the industry will face stricter requirements for more sustainable tanning processes and production methods.
We are researching eco-friendly tanning techniques and using natural ingredients that are part of a circular cycle.
Our technology opens for high quality fish leather that is not harmful for people and environment. Quality and productivity will be ensured through automation and use of sensor technology at several steps of the production process.
The Footprint of the Leather Industry
ERICA (European Respiratory of the Industry's Collective Agreements) has published a report highlighting the environmental challenges facing the tanning industry and pointing to the potential for technological improvements. The report shows that today’s average chemical consumption is 2.15 kg per square meter of finished leather, and that the demand for chemical-free leather is increasing.
Sustainable Production
Our method for tanning fish leather is based on circular economy principles. Fish skins from the salmon industry are tanned with natural tanning agents. By-products from the forestry and meat industries are utilized in the production of these agents.
The UN Sustainable Development Goals
We are committed to producing fish leather in a sustainable way without the use of polluting chemicals, and we have integrated the UN Sustainable Development Goals into our strategy. This applies particularly to: Sustainable Development Goal 3: Good health and well-being Sustainable Development Goal 6: Clean water and sanitation Sustainable Development Goal 12: Responsible consumption and production Sustainable Development Goal 13: Climate action Sustainable Development Goal 14: Life below water Sustainable Development Goal 17: Partnerships for the goals
