CO – Elmo Circular Operating model sets a new benchmark for circular economy within the tanning industry.
The tradition of leather, refining a material made by nature is one of the oldest circular economies in the world, creating a sustainable value proposition based on upcycling.
At Elmo, we apply a 100% circular manufacturing methodology meaning all our process waste is upcycled, recycled and reused as raw-material for other industries or as energy. Launched in early 2021, Elmo’s industry leading ECO-model facilitates zero process waste, which means that none of our waste streams end up in landfill creating an industry unique ‘Zero Waste Leather®’ value proposition.
Leather enables a prolonged product and application lifetime compared to alternative materials making our distinguished ‘Zero Waste Leather®’ a high-performing, authentic and beautiful end-product, that reduces the CO2 footprint due to its extended product life expectancy and our innovative ECO-model.
Natural sustainability, authentic luxury – leather by Elmo.
