Olivenleder® is a trademarked brand of 100% vegetable-tanned leather produced by wet-green GmbH, based in Reutlingen, Germany. The company utilizes olive harvest byproducts, such as leaves and branches, as a bio-based tanning agent, replacing harmful chemicals with a biodegradable process. This innovative approach reduces CO₂ emissions and energy use while promoting circularity and fair compensation for farmers. Wet-green GmbH operates its own tannery under the Olivenleder® brand, focusing on sustainable leather production. The patented technology allows for the creation of soft, durable leathers with deep colors and a natural olive fragrance. The core product is vegetable-tanned nappa leather, known for its flexibility and biodegradability, making it suitable for various applications, including fashion and upholstery. Olivenleder® also offers R&D services for dye formulations and collaborates with tanneries to support the transition to sustainable leather solutions.
