Zero Waste Yak Hide Tanning

Francis Tsang writes on LinkedIn: Farmers raise livestock for its meat or milk with the hide or skin as a by-product that has to be used or thrown away as waste.


At ZANG YAK®, we specialize in tanning Tibetan Yak hair-on-hide using a zero-waste approach. Our mission is to upcycle the byproducts produced when Tibetan herders harvest yaks for meat consumption. This practice promotes traceability, supports regenerative agriculture, and reduces waste.


By choosing ZANG YAK® Leather, you are supporting an industry that values people, the planet, and tradition.


Together, we are crafting a more sustainable future, one hide at a time.
