LIFE 10 ENV/IT/000365

ACHIEVED RESULTS

  • Demonstration of the innovative bio-treatment effectiveness in reducing poultry manure bad smell: odor impact 80% reduction.
  • Demonstration of the applicability of treated poultry manure in the bating phase of the tanning process: enzymatic measurements made ​​on them showed proteolytic activity in the range of applicability. Moreover, the obtained results indicate this treatment as available even for small thickness skins, without damage risk.
  • Demonstration, at laboratory level and semi-industrial level, of the applicability of this innovative technique for leather production, in terms of final product quality and environmental impact reduction: finished leathers have no odor and appear very similar to those obtained with traditional methods.
  • Lack of biological risk for operators: presence of pathogenic microorganisms was not detected.
