In the January issue of ARS TANNERY, within the special “Green Transition” insert, we are highlighting how we are leading a circular revolution with OMW® Leather Technology.
At GSC Group, we believe innovation means rethinking production processes through the lens of environmental protection. By valuing agro-industrial waste, we have turned a problematic by-product into a precious resource for the tanning industry.
What we are achieving with OMW® Leather Technology:
- From Waste to Resource: We transform Olive Mill Wastewater (OMW), a potentially polluting by-product, into SUSTAN FP, our patented, high-performance metal-free tanning agent.
- A Virtuous Cycle: We have created a bridge between the agri-food supply chain, the meat industry, and the tanning sector.
- Uncompromised Performance: Our leather is 93.4% biodegradable (UNI EN ISO 20136:2020) and is already a benchmark in the automotive and footwear sectors.
- Short Supply Chain: We keep it 100% Made in Italy, sourcing our OMW from selected oil mills in Tuscany and Puglia.
We are proving that every drop of waste can become precious when industrial progress and sustainability share the same vision.
