GSC Group at the 12th Freiberg Leather Days conference with the study on bio-based technologies and life cycle analysis

GSC Group will attend the 12th Freiberg Leather Days conference with the study “Utilisation of bio-based chemicals evaluation and LCA assessment for the future leather manufacture”.

On June 12 and 13, 2024, the 12th Freiberg Leather Days will take place in Salzburg, Austria. GSC Group will participate in this prestigious conference, which is highly significant for the European tanning and leather industry. This biennial event is co-organized by VGCT and FILK.

Tanning is one of the oldest trades, with a long and rich tradition. Today, the tanning industry is highly mechanized and meets the highest environmental standards. GSC Group will present an innovative study inspired by the result of the IULTCS 2022 and the consequential insights garnered from the ALCA 2024 conference. The study will focus on leather tanning technologies currently available on the market, with a particular emphasis on evaluating their impacts through the use of an LCA study, as well as the group’s initiatives to develop high Bio-Based content products to obtain less impactful leathers on the environment.

Our specialist lectures will be presented by Riccardo Pasquale, PhD, at 09:15 a.m. on Thursday, June 13th.

Our researcher will share GSC’s knowledge and innovations with the sector, facilitating an exchange of ideas and contributing valuable technical content to enrich the discussion on the importance of environmental sustainability in the tanning industry.

Aware that global perspectives indicate the need to develop more environmentally friendly materials, GSC Group has already accepted the challenge and is committed to reducing hazardous chemicals and developing leather processing products that significantly integrate renewable sources. Bio-Based compounds are indeed becoming increasingly prominent in the market and are carving out a prominent place in the raw material supply chain.

We are delighted to return for this new edition of Freiberg Leather Days. We invite participants to join us in exploring the new frontiers of the sustainable industry.
