Porto, 9–10 Sep, 2025: COTANCE is excited to announce the launch of SYMBIOS, a new Erasmus+ project for the leather industry.

SYMBIOS will explore industrial symbiosis between the agrifood and leather sectors, building a replicable model of sustainable practices.

A key outcome: a digital platform to:

✅ Inform, train & support skills in the Green & Circular Economy
✅ Connect companies & boost collaboration through symbiotic practices

Gustavo Gonzalez-Quijano, COTANCE Secretary-General: “SYMBIOS comes at a critical time for the leather industry. Industrial symbiosis can turn sustainability into a shared opportunity, where agrifood and leather move forward together. This project will help us build practical solutions, create connections, and ensure our industry remains a leader in Europe’s green and circular economy”.
