Silvateam s.p.a.’s Post

Promoting biodiversity is one of our main pillars when it comes to supply chain management. 🌳 Chestnut forests are more than just a source of raw materials: they are vital ecosystems that have always supported the tannin industry and our local communities. That’s why we are fully committed to sustainable wood management practices, implementing authorised and planned forest cutting operations throughout the year. By preventing forest abandonment we maintain these ecosystems in their natural state. There’s no greater satisfaction than knowing our efforts contribute to preserving these habitats, to the benefit of their precious wildlife such as this colourful salamander. 🦎 #Biodiversity #Sustainability #ChestnutForests #Salamander #EcosystemConservation

Last week, over 60 distributors, agents, partners and colleagues from around the world gathered in Vicoforte, near our headquarters, for our Global Leather Meeting. The event was the perfect stage to showcase our latest innovations. From advancements in Ecotan Leather and Olivenleder® technologies to cutting-edge highly biobased formulations and low-bisphenol solutions, we proudly presented the newest developments in synthetic tannins, fatliquors and auxiliaries. Of course, we also had the opportunity to evaluate a wide range of leathers firsthand. Furthermore it was a wonderful opportunity to strengthen relationships, enjoy some fun, savor the exquisite cuisine of Piedmont and take in the breathtaking views of the Maritime Alps, rising over 2,000 meters above sea level. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for this extraordinary event! #GlobalLeatherMeeting #LeatherInnovation #Ecotan #Olivenleder #BiobasedSolutions

From the mountain valleys surrounding our headquarters to the rolling hills of Langhe and the vibrant streets of Florence, what an incredible journey we've had!

In an era marked by the relentless pace of fast fashion, the environmental and ethical impacts of our clothing choices have come under intense scrutiny. The fashion industry’s rapid turnover of trends has fuelled overconsumption, resulting in mountains of textile waste and exploitation of both workers and resources. However, amidst this challenging landscape, there lies a sustainable ally: leather.   #RealLeather #FastFasshion #Style #Durability #Sustainability   https://lnkd.in/eaA__b8a

At Silvateam, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword. It's at the core of our product creation. We're excited to share a behind-the-scenes look at how we extract our chestnut tannin. 🌿 Sustainable Sourcing: We start by responsibly sourcing chestnut wood, which is then carefully chipped into small pieces. 🔥 Eco-Friendly Extraction: Similar to brewing a large batch of tea, these chips are steeped in autoclaves using only hot water. This gentle process allows the tannin to release gradually, ensuring maximum extraction without the use of harsh chemicals. 💧 Concentration to Perfection: After extraction, the liquid tannin is concentrated to enhance its rich properties. Through a spray drying process, the chestnut tannin is transformed into a fine powder, ready for global distribution. We’re proud to offer this sustainable product to our customers around the world, continuing a legacy of excellence that spans over 170 years. #Sustainability #Innovation #ChestnutTannin #EcoFriendlyManufacturing

🌿 Exciting News! The world’s first Nature Restoration Law has been approved! 🌍✨ Backed by the European Environment Agency , this groundbreaking initiative aims to restore 20% of the EU’s land and seas by 2030 and all ecosystems in need by 2050. As @Onu explained, this means “to prevent, stop and reverse the damage to our biodiversity.” Despite Italy voting against it, we at Silvateam firmly believe in the necessity of taking concrete actions and making choices that ensure a healthier, safer planet. This is reason behind the recent foundation of Ledoga Agricola, a new legal entity within our Group devoted to managing wood sourcing, including ownership of chestnut woodlands that are PEFC certified. 🌳 By directly caring for our raw materials in their natural habitats, we are elevating our commitment to the environment and ensuring a completely sustainable supply chain. Nature is our DNA, so we are dedicated to doing our best to restore it! 🌿💚 #NatureRestoration #Sustainability #GreenFuture #EnvironmentalCommitment
