Sustainability In Practice

Responsible production, measured clearly.

KKSK’s sustainability work is built around practical improvements in water efficiency, certified systems, chemical discipline, and renewable energy installations.

Water Efficiency

Under 1 litre
per sq.ft.

Achieved on selected finished leather articles through controlled process conditions.

Our patented water-recycling system helps reduce process water consumption while supporting responsible finished leather manufacturing at scale.

2 LWG Gold-certified facilities for responsible leather production.
ISO ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified management systems.
Higg Higg FEM verified and SEDEX audited for global buyer expectations.
30 MW Renewable energy installations across 20 MW wind and 10 MW solar.
01
Certified Systems

Verified systems for responsible leather.

Certifications support disciplined production, environmental management, and the standards expected by modern sourcing teams.

LWG Gold: Two certified facilities.
ISO Certified: ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.
Verified: Higg FEM verified and SEDEX audited.
02
Water

Patented recycling for lower water use.

Our recycling system treats and reuses process water through biological, physical, and chemical treatment stages.

Water Use: Under 1 litre per sq.ft on selected articles.
System: Patented recycling process.
Impact: Lower process water consumption at scale.
03
Renewable Energy

Cleaner energy for manufacturing operations.

KKSK has invested in renewable energy across wind and solar power, supporting a lower operational footprint.

Wind Energy: 20 MW installed capacity.
Solar Energy: 10 MW installed capacity.
Total Capacity: 30 MW renewable energy installations.
Compliance Support

Documentation support for buyer approvals.

For sourcing teams and brand evaluations, KKSK can share relevant certifications, sustainability information, and compliance documents required for supplier review.

Technology & Control

Sustainable technologies for better leather production.

KKSK combines tannery expertise with practical process technologies that reduce resource use, improve consistency, and support responsible leather manufacturing.

Patented water recycling built in-house.

Our patented LISO Tech helps reduce fresh water consumption and supports lower process water usage for selected finished leather articles under controlled production conditions.

ZEWA: Zero-waste manufacturing system

ZEWA maximizes the reuse of spent dye, retan, and fat liquor baths from mainline production, improving chemical utilization and supporting a more circular manufacturing approach.

Chrome recovery plant

Our in-house chrome recovery system monitors chrome exhaustion levels and recovers chrome for reuse, helping reduce fresh chrome requirement and minimize waste impact.

Zero Liquid Discharge approach

KKSK treats and reuses process water through advanced treatment systems, supporting responsible water management and reducing discharge dependency.

End-to-end process control

Leather quality begins from the earliest stages of processing. By controlling material selection, tannage, and every key production stage, KKSK delivers consistent leather performance.

Quantity = delivery

With over 40 years of industry experience, strong raw material sourcing, and planned inventory, KKSK supports dependable delivery performance for customer programs.

 
Leather Perspective

Natural.
Durable.
Responsible.

Good leather is not a disposable material. It is made to last, repair, age, and perform.

Leather Awareness

Myth vs Truth.

Leather is often misunderstood. When responsibly sourced and correctly processed, it remains a durable, repairable, and long-lasting natural material with a place in responsible product design.

Durable Built for long-term use.
Repairable Designed to age and be restored.
Responsible Better when processed with control.
