EnvironmentalSustainabilityat Avanti Leathers

Sustainability at Avanti is the motor of our curiosity to go .beyond the expected and be one-stop ahead – to be AVANTI

We take responsibility for the impact the sourcing and processing of our production have on the environment and the people and focus on mitigating it through our double materiality approach.

  • Reduce
  • Reuse
  • Recycle
  • Rethink

At Avanti, we aim for the most sustainable leather-making process possible – based on the three pillars of sustainability. Not only do we implement state-of-the-art technologies, but we also have our own innovations such as a unique sludge recovery method, and a TDS reduction. Technology and tanning methods reduce the overall impact of our articles.

Reduce

A vision of Avanti is the elimination of singles-use plastics in production and everyday business. Therefore we provide free fresh water supply to all our employees in various locations, reducing the usage of plastic bottles. In packaging, we are not yet plastic-free, but we have a strict minimization strategy that includes to reuse the existing packaging as often as possible. A future objective of ours is the complete elimination of plastic at Avanti Leathers.

Recycle

Every tiny bit of nature is precious so we take it seriously and use it to what ever we can!

The shaving and trimming waste from leather processing is being collected on a daily basis ( around 500kgs / per day) and converted into a natural protein filler. This takes place.. / These fillers are up-cycled waste material used in the leather making process which reduced the environmental impact by around 90%.
protein filler takes place in our protein plant which has a capacity of 10,000 litres with a special process. This natural protein fillers are used back for leather processing and production. Another revolutionary process is using earthworms that is converted into a Final BIOMANURE.

Rethink

Our small hand back to our mother nature
We strongly believe in nature-based solutions and therefore in their importance. Therefore we have planted over 150.000 trees on our premises in the last three years. All of those trees are not only providing us with fresh air, ripe and tasty fruits, and shade. Studies have shown that trees and other plants help to reduce the temperature through shade and evapotranspiration, creating a better working environment.
