Savetan is our answer to the tanning phase.
An intelligent process that works behind the scenes optimizing, reducing and transforming.
It is not a product. It is not a chemical. SaveTan is a new way of thinking leather. Developed by Kind Leather, a brand that looks at the entire leather value chain to deliver smart solutions at every stage, SaveTan is our answer to the tanning phase. An intelligent process that works behind the scenes optimizing, reducing, transforming.
The numbers speak for themselves: up to 16 liters less water per hide, 415g less sludge per piece, 65% reduction in class 1 chrome waste, 18.5% less energy used, 15% less salt, 52.8% fewer chemicals, 12.7% lower GWP all achieved during the tanning process.
The impact is technical and ecological. Leather with more lightness, more uniformity, and more purpose. The grain Integrity is preserved because the process protects it. It is not magic. It is precision chemistry.
Because real leather is made with real innovation. Moreover, the future of our industry starts where few can see: at the Core. A Kind Leather solution for tanning. Rethink the process, SaveTan.
