At the close of the nineteenth century, the area counted barely six tanneries. Ten years later, between the river Arno and the river Egola, about 60 such concerns sprang up. Expansion of tanning activities in Ponte a Egola<\/strong> reached its peak in the 1950s and 1960s, when efforts to found an association kicked off, still bearing fruits today. The small tanning companies of that time gave life to an association, in order to better face the shared problems of a nascent system of production.<\/p>\n When in 1967 the CONSORZIO CONCIATORI<\/strong> was born, Ponte a Egola was witnessing the development of companies and production activities that would soon engage in industrialization. The decision to form an association arose out of the search for solutions to business problems (minor, but for those times, great). As time went by, this move proved vitally important for tackling environmental concerns and various other issues regarding the district itself.<\/p>\n The Consortium was a most active player in the process of selecting, developing and subdividing areas in which tanning in its modern industrial forms could take place, enabling renewal and expansion of production zones, and continuous innovation and technological development. Consequently, the Ponte a Egola tanneries are among the most advanced worldwide.<\/p>\n Thanks to the activity of the Consortium, and the commitment of the various companies, a centralized purification plant was built. This led to the birth of \u201ccollateral\u201d or ancillary companies (among the largest and most efficient in Italy) managing effluent sludge disposal following purification, processing tannery waste and byproducts, and recovering chromium. Technological development of these activities is ongoing, the aim being to select and recover as much of the waste as possible (together with the byproducts), and to minimize environmental impacts. These businesses now serve as a model for developers of the most advanced approaches to a circular economy.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.26.4″ background_image=”https:\/\/consorzioconciatori.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_1065.jpg” height=”340px”][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Services” _builder_version=”3.26.4″ background_enable_image=”off” custom_margin=”||-3px|||” custom_padding=”0|0|1px|0px|false|false”][et_pb_row admin_label=”Main Services” _builder_version=”3.26.1″ custom_margin=”34px|auto||auto|false|false” custom_padding=”|||”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding_tablet=”||40px|” custom_padding_phone=”||40px|” custom_padding_last_edited=”off|desktop” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.27.4″ text_font=”|300|||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”20px” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_text_color=”#000000″ header_2_font=”Roboto|300|||||||” header_2_font_size=”60px”]<\/p>\n Today the Consorzio Conciatori counts 60 members.
