Zeology leather.
Leather reinvented.

Feeling the pressure of alternative materials?
Offer your customers something better.

Imagine being able to sell leather, without any pushback. Offer your customer all the benefits of leather and an opportunity to make a positive change. How? By offering them Zeology leather. Zeology leather is leather tanned with the sustainable tanning agent Zeology. Chrome free, heavy metal free and aldehyde free. Zeology is the best sustainable alternative to existing tanning agents.

Do you notice customers steering away from leather because they are falling for vegan alternatives? Do you find it hard to convince brands of the sustainability of leather? Offer them a new narrative: a brand-new material, made from a bio-based waste product. Treated with circular chemicals so it is compostable at its end of life. Sounds impossible? It’s not. It’s Zeology leather, leather reinvented.

  • Enables production of chrome-free white splits
  • Zeo White shavings have good biodegradability
