The company’s sustainable approach is brought about by optimisation of resources and control of the entire production process. Implementation of a water-recycling system at the liming stage means water savings of 70%. Conceria Montebello has an in-house pre-treatment purification plant that, together with gas, water and electricity consumption, is computer monitored. The entire system is managed by the internal analysis laboratory, which, as well as its monitoring functions, also carries out continual studies and researches to reduce the environmental impact of the various production stages.
