Rino Mastrotto pledges to save 7.5 million litres of water in 2026, equal to three Olympic-sized swimming pools or the capacity of 250 large industrial tank trucks through “Hearth”, its innovative tanning process. The process launched last year enables the company to achieve environmental footprint reduction by cutting water consumption by 91%, chemical usage by 23%, and CO₂ emissions by 22%, setting a concrete benchmark for more responsible tanning and a more sustainable future.

Data are based on a comparative cradle-to-gate Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), made by a third party in accordance with ISO 14040 and 14044 standards and subjected to critical review, on 1m²of finished cowhide, comparing the conventional production process with one in which the HEARTH innovation was introduced, applied to the retanning, dyeing and fatliquoring phases.
