Thermal pathways for sustainable waste management: Leveraging leather tannery waste as a renewable energy source
Abstract
The growing production of consumer goods increases waste generation, challenging disposal systems. The aim of the work was to use real data to propose a closed loop leather production process, so as to eliminate storage and use the potential of thermal processes for energy recovery. Such actions allow for improving the company's economic balance, but above all for a positive environmental impact. The tanning industry generates about 825 kg of waste per 175 kg of finished leather, mostly landfilled at high costs of utilization. This study examines energy recovery from tannery waste in various path: combustion, pyrolysis, and gasification using data from a Polish tannery.
