P – OTGL News – Whitepaper Renewability

Renewability is one of the building blocks of sustainability. But what does renewability mean? How can it be measured and how can it contribute to lowering your environmental impact as a brand or tannery?
The purpose of this paper is to:
a. provide an understanding of the concept of renewability
b. zoom in on the renewability of leather, also in comparison to alternative materials and
c. give an insight in how we, at Royal Smit & Zoon, innovate with bio-based ingredients, to avoid resource depletion and lower CO2 emissions.
