Sustainability

Our Ecosystem Model

#2 Water Management

It is our priority to reduce water consumption in all processes and to evaluate all water that can be reused.

#3 Recycling

We separate all plastic, paper, packaging, etc. waste generated during production and evaluate them for use in different areas.

#1 Evaluation of Waste

Thanks to our unique waste management system, we complete the collagen cycle and return all valuable residues to the economy.

#4 Circular Economy

Iskefe aims to “close the loop” with an economic system that repurposes waste products into resources used for new products. Three principles guide this approach: first, design out waste and pollution; second, keep products and materials in use; and third, revitalize natural systems.

#5 Sustainable Source

If the leather industry does not convert hides and skins into leather, it is estimated that 7.3 million tons of waste from the global food industry could end up in landfills. İskefe utilizes only hides, a by-product of the food industry, and transforms them through versatile production methods into leather that can be used across a wide range of products, from gloves and shoes to clothing and upholstery. We produce leather using raw materials from cattle (beef) and source these materials from Turkey and neighboring countries whenever possible. Sustainable resource use ensures lower leather production waste and helps reduce the overall carbon footprint of the finished leather.
