Life Green Organic Agents for Sustainable Tanneries (GOAST) is a project co-financed by the European Commission to oversee environmental sustainability and circularity in the leather tanning industry.

A new tanning technology was presented on December 3^rd, presenting the achievement of an innovative tanning technology that is free of chromium and other metals, allowing for the complete recovery of shavings.

“I would like to point out that the Italian tanning industry, which is sensitive to environmental issues, has made great strides in the last decade, and has embarked on a virtuous path toward the concept of zero impact. Today, the processing systems used are environmentally friendly, and the chemicals used fully comply with the strictest environmental standards. Furthermore, thanks to the scientific innovation obtained with the GOAST project, we can give our partners, customers and operators the possibility to utilize tanned leathers with an exclusive green performance,” explained Massimiliano Silvestri, Quality Manager of Conceria Pasubio Spa.

LifeGoast has also demonstrated the positive synergy between companies and research institutions, so much so that the university sphere developed the solution to transform the shavings of hides tanned with this new technology into a resource capable of developing new industrial synergies.
