LANXESS X-Biomer

LANXESS X-Biomer

New sustainability in the tanning process. “Resource-efficient manufacturing of leather chemicals” (ReeL), LANXESS Leather Business Unit is working with the research institute INVITE to develop a modular pilot plant that can use shavings previously disposed in most cases and organic biomass to create “X-Biomer” brand retanning agents for manufacturing leather. The manufacturing equipment is designed for use directly on-site at the tanneries. The feasibility tests are set to take place with the third project partner HELLER-LEDER.
