Oeko Tex ® Leather Standard Nº 2017OK1025 AITEX
Salpax - Recycled Leather, Tinted and Finished
The present certificate issued to Salpax, S.A. by the Aitex Technological Institute, which since more than 15 years has represented a worldwide reference point for researcher and testing in the field of ecology, affirms that during the use of Ecosalpa products do not release toxic or harmful substances in quantities higher than the limits established by the Oeke-Tex Leader Standard, comply with REACH regulation on the registration and restriction of chemicals, as it also comply with the American requirements regarding to the total lead content in items for children.
The GRS is an international, voluntary, full product standard that sets requirements for third-party certification of recycled content, chain of custody, social and environmental practices and chemical restrictions.
The GRS is intended to meet the needs of companies looking to verify the recycled content of their products (both finished and intermediate) and to verify responsible social, environmental and chemical practices in their production. The objectives of the GRS are to define requirements to ensure accurate content claims and good working conditions, and that harmful environmental and chemical impacts are minimised.
NEW SHAPE PROJECT
SALPAX is developing the project "Substitute materials for forming, based on circular economy". This project aims to research and develop new substitute materials for natural leather that allow its use in applications that require a three-dimensional shaping of the material for the manufacture of the product.
The NEW_SHAPE project started in March 2021, in Cañada (Alicante), and will end in February 2023, with a budget of 555,246€ co-financed by CDTI and FEDER (European Regional Development Fund).

The objective is the substitution of petroleum-derived materials by materials of natural origin for various applications. In this context, the incorporation of biopolymers to the recycled leather trimmings that are currently treated by SALPAX is sought, achieving new properties for various types of materials.
Project budget: 136,345.37 € Grant awarded: 61,355.41 €.
INNOVA-CV Project
SALPAX, S.A. has received a grant co-financed by Ivace and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) in the SME INNOVATION PROJECTS programme (INNOVA-CV), file IMINOA/2022/24 within the Operational Programme of the Valencian Community 2021-2027:
Objective:
* To seek to improve the sustainability and useful life of recycled products from tanned leather sandings, by incorporating preservatives and/or natural biocides that protect our products from the growth of bacteria and microorganisms that may favour the ageing and degradation of the leather.
Result:
* Collection of materials destined for the footwear, bookbinding, leather goods and food sectors.
* At least one example of the application of the materials developed for each of the proposed sectors: pair of shoes with insole, bound book, belt or wallet and placemat.
* Tests with the higicult as effectiveness.
