Thanks to its quality, durability and comfort, Italian leather, continues to set a record of excellence in the European and international markets.

In recent years, Biopox has focused on finding more eco-sustainable methods to replace conventional tanning processes.

The use of enzymes improves the quality of the final product through a more effective rehydration of the skin, the dispersion of fats and a better removal of carbohydrates and protein components.

Furthermore, solid waste from tanning industries can be treated to recover proteins, such as collagen, which can be recovered and modified / functionalized with different chemical groups to obtain useful characteristics for the surface coating of the leather, providing it new properties such as self-cleaning, hydrophobicity, resistance to abrasion and rubbing and antimicrobial activity.
