Our commitments
Since the creation of its first wastewater treatment plant in 1985, Raynaud Jeune has remained at the forefront of environmental preservation
Our exclusively vegetable tanning is free of heavy metals.
The finishes are now solvent free.
Our suppliers of vegetable tanning extracts are all PEFC certified, and guarantee sustainable exploitation of the forest. They do not contribute to deforestation.
95% of our waste are recycled and recovered into compost, fertilizer, or recycled leather (bonded leather).
The skins used by Raynaud Jeune come only from animals raised for meat and milk.
Raynaud Jeune thus contributes to the recovery of waste and is therefore a major player in a circular economy.

Discharging its waters directly into the natural environment, Raynaud Jeune has implemented for many years an ambitious sustainable production policy.
Thanks to its 2 water treatment units, all effluents are treated with a purification efficiency of more than 95 to 99%. The sludge from the chromium-free treatment plant is recycled into compost. Shaving wastes are recovered into fertilizers, and tanned trimmings into bonded leather.
Each KWH consumed is offset by placing the same amount of renewable electricity on the market. Thanks to its new equipment, Raynaud Jeune has, over the years, significantly reduced its consumption of water (process improvement, recycling) or electricity (dimmers, LEDs, etc.)
Our new biomass boiler consumes only local wood waste, reducing the carbon footprint of our production by more than 95%. Since 2020, no fossil fuels are used on the site.
