The May ’23 edition of the journal Green Chemistry features a research article about Zeology as the new material gaining industrial significance for sustainable leather. The article will report on cutting-edge scientific research on the application of modified zeolites as the most sustainable alternative for traditional tanning methods.The research article is entitled “Zeolites as Sustainable Alternatives to Traditional Tanning Chemistries” and is free accessible on Green Chemistry.“A new material gaining industrial significance for sustainable leather is based on a composite of collagen and zeolite. The zeolite forms a 3D network structure covering collagen fibres, improving protein stability and creating material strength.” – Green ChemistryProud on this important step towards more transparency in the leather value chain and yet another validation of Zeology on being the green and sustainable approach to tanning hides and skins.Authors:William Wise, University of Northampton, Institute for Creative Leather TechnologiesStefan Davis, University of Northampton Institute for Creative Leather TechnologiesWouter Hendriksen, Royal Smit and ZoonDirick Von Behr, Royal Smit & ZoonSujay Prabakar, NZ Leather ResearchYi Zhang, NZ Leather Research Go to the article (Open Access)Other articles Ted Louise wants to conquer the world with sustainable handbagsTed Louise bags are not just unique because of their design, but mostly because we have embraced the revolutionary tanning… Strong commitment to sustainability at DugrosLast week, we were invited to Dugros, a wholesaler of bags and Partner of Zeology, to provide a presentation about… Educating the next generation leather makersLast week, our Zeologists Callum Makay, Craig Munro and Dirick von Behr gave a workshop on tanning with Zeology at… Share this:
