A renewed environmentally friendly awareness is being disseminated within the tanning field and is gradually transforming leather processing.

Measures aimed at improving process technologies or the treatment of polluting effluents have heightened standards over the past decade so that the most negative effects on the environment can be cut. However, there is still a long way to go for research and development of cleaner technologies.

Legislation is tightening up with increasingly stringent specifications regarding the environment and the finished product. Major leather goods manufacturers want hypoallergenic, metal-free products that maintain the characteristics and performance that only chrome leather has been able to provide over decades of leather processing history.

A turnaround is gradually taking place, but we do not like to feel that it is only the big brands that are demanding the use of eco-friendly products, made with processes that have a reduced environmental impact. Our ambition is that it becomes a common desire, regardless of mere economic and advertising interests.

Helping to cut the time it takes to make this wish come true has become an essential mission for Osmo.

ZenZero™ is the photo that makes this idea timeless with an environmental impact aiming at zero, a balanced process in harmony with the ecosystem, a journey that is both exploration and a precise route towards a shared goal.
