Leather,
a natural material

Properly made and sourced leather is a truly sustainable material. Leather is made from a by-product of the food industry (recycle) and is a long-lasting material, two very important aspects of sustainability.

Leather is a sustainable, circular and compostable material when using the right chemicals. That is exactly what we offer with Zeology Leather.

Zeology Leather is leather tanned with Zeology, a game-changing tanning agent based on zeolites and free of chrome, aldehyde and heavy metals.

Compostable & biodegradable

Circular

Reducing our footprint

Imagine a beautiful bag from responsibly sourced leather, that is manufactured in a way that it could compost, biodegrade and return to nature. That is what Zeology leather is all about. Your used Zeology Leather bag or shoes can provide the soil with nutrients once the material has disintegrated into compost. Zeology Leather gives a proper compost within 15 days under industrial composting. It is also found to actually nourish the soil, delivering 20% stronger plant growth than a control compost.

Zeology Leather is a circular material, because it is manufactured in a sustainable way without hazardous chemicals. It comes from earth, to cow, to bag, to earth and on again. A model of perfect circularity. Zeology is free of chrome, aldehyde and heavy metals and consists of circular chemistry.

It is essential to change the way products are designed and manufactured, for a cleaner planet, safer working conditions and use of products. Certifications help us to achieve these goals. Zeology is awarded with the ToxFMD Screened Chemistry® Certificate, C2C Certified Material Health CertificateTM at the Platinum level and ZDHC MRSL Conformance = Level 3. Zeology has also received the Green Product Award 2022 award that validates its working.
