Automotive leather… is it chrome free?

Are you looking to source sustainable leather for your car brand? Ask your leather manufacturer if the leather they are supplying is chrome free and free of other heavy metals. Most leathers are chrome tanned. As the name suggests, chrome tanning involves adding a small amount of chromium (chromium III) in the form of chrome mineral salts. Chromium III is a safe substance and most people are not aware of the fact that chromium is even an essential part of our daily diet. Still, chrome tanning is not the best option for the environment.

The demand for chrome free and metal free leather is growing rapidly. That is why, we offer Zeology leather, chrome free, heavy metal free and aldehyde free.
