Asiatan has spent years optimizing and innovating ways to minimize waste. The culmination of that effort is the Asiatan Kind Leather program. We have looked at ways throughout our supply chain and processes to minimize everything from trim, water, chemistry and time. The result is Kind Leather!

We examined the key areas of waste in our suppliers, our own and the factories to find ways to reduce every aspect of what waste is.

• By trimming in raw hide and lime, we can divert waste that would have gone to the landfill into a valuable protein supply chain for fertilizer, food products, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.
• No waste is created or transported.
• The raw material shipped to the tannery needs no trimming or splitting.
• Through maximized chemistry and water use, we reduce hazardous waste, transportation emissions, and pollution.
