Radically environmentally sustainable tannery operation by resource management

Objective

The future environmental impact and sustainability of the European leather industry will depend on the management of resources: water, chemicals, energy and the raw material. RESTORM proposes that consumed resources can be reduced and waste can be eliminated by conversion into by products with added value and, in the longer term, into new products. Developing membrane technologies for tanneries will allow water and chemicals to be recovered and recycled, with added benefits for energy recovery from membrane bioreactor treatment by converting current inorganic process chemistry to biochemistry. The programme will produce savings in treatment and disposal costs that will allow staged investment in increasingly advanced and more sustainable processing, eventually closing all the waste loops and reaching zero waste. New products will include 'smart' biomedical materials for veterinary and military applications in the field.
