1 OXATAN LIFE + Environmental and governance policy Environmentally friendly oxazolidine-tanned leather

2 MAIN OBJECTIVE: The main objective of this project is to prove, to promote and to broadcast in the EU an innovative tanning technology based on the use of oxazodiline as an alternative to the traditional one made with chrome for being used at the footwear and tapestry industries.

based on the use of oxazodiline as an alternative to the traditional

3 OBJETIVES 1. To promote the use of friendly leather with the environment in the footwear and tapestry industries. 2. To improve the environment impact caused by the leather, footwear and tapestry industries. 3. To reduce the environmental impact of the furs at the end of their life cycle. 4. To help the footwear and tapestry companies to meet the environmental requirements, the mandatory as well as the voluntary ones related to the content of dangerous substances for health and environment.

To reduce the environmental impact of the furs at the end of their life cycle. 4.

4 EXPECTED RESULTS To show the technical and financial viability of the oxazodiline used in tanning of the leather. the To get a wide broadcasting about the tanning technique made with oxazodiline among the tanneries in the UE, mainly in Italy and Spain as leading producers of leather in Europe. Introduction to the use of the tanning technique with oxazodiline in the European tanneries. To enhance the footwear and tapestry industries interest about the use of tanned leather with oxazolidine as a raw material for manufactured products.

Spain as leading producers of leather in Europe.
