Sustainability
Responsible Manufacturing. Sustainable Progress.
At Kings International, sustainability is an integral part of how we manufacture leather and leather goods. We continuously improve our processes to optimize resources, reduce environmental impact, and support responsible manufacturing while delivering premium-quality products to customers worldwide.
Our Sustainability Pillars
Four initiatives, with the numbers behind them.
Lime Water Recycling System
Since 2015
Recycles roughly 600 KL (600,000 litres) of lime water annually, recovers 80% of re-lime liquor, reduces water use by 800 litres per ton of processed leather, and saves 15-25% on lime consumption.
Hair Saving Screen
UNIDO-selected, 2016
Recovers hair from the tanning process instead of chemically dissolving it, cutting Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) in effluent by 50%. Recovered hair is repurposed as organic fertiliser for green-belt development.
Mechanical Salt De-dusting
Recovers roughly 6 kg of salt per hide (versus roughly 3 kg manually), preventing an estimated 550 tons of salt from entering the environment each year and reducing effluent Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) by 15-20%.
Upgraded Primary Effluent Treatment Plant (PETP)
Compliant PEPT, The adequacy and performance has been successfully assessed by CSIR- CLRI with mechanical dewatering system.
OUR COMMITMENT
Sustainability is a Responsibility, Not Just a Goal.
We believe that long-term business success goes hand in hand with responsible manufacturing. Our approach focuses on producing premium leather while continuously improving operational efficiency, reducing waste, and promoting environmentally conscious practices throughout our manufacturing process.
