Spanish leather chemical manufacturer Quimser has achieved Level 3 certification under the Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC) programme in 2024, following its Level 1 certification in 2022 and successful completion of Level 2 requirements. By Leatherbiz.

This certification ensures compliance with the Manufacturing Restricted Substances List (MRSL) version 3.1, confirming that Quimser’s products meet safety and environmental standards set by the ZDHC initiative.

Quimser told Leatherbiz that they are continuing to research new raw materials with natural origins to develop more ecological alternatives. The company is also focusing on increasing product competitiveness and quality, aiming to offer its products to LWG tanners.
