We live in an age of great abundance. We’re also waking up to the cost such abundance exacts on planet earth – rising greenhouse gas levels, depletion of natural resources, pollution, trash and species extinction. This knowledge compels us to be sparing with natural resources and use them thoughtfully.

Today consumers rank sustainability as a key factor, giving preference to items that are safe, durable and reusable. In cooperation with world class tanneries, Silvateam has devised Ecotan, a patented, groundbreaking solution for brands looking to meet this new challenge. Our technology delivers the performance consumers expect from contemporary leather without exacting a cost on the planet.

from the heart of nature, Ecotan Advanced is born, the new hybrid technology “All in one"

Experience a new pretanning system based on olive tree extract, a natural touch that transforms leather into a luxury material. Our process is deeply rooted in the natural pruning of olive trees, which guarantee the crafting of soft, vibrant-colored leathers ready to be applied in automotive, furniture production and fashion. The 100% bio-based olive extract (OTP) merges with the Ecotan retannage based on tannins into a single solution. Ecotan Advanced follows the Ecotan circularity principle, ensuring leather can be repurposed for a second life, all the way through to the finishing process.
With us, every material embodies with a natural soul.
