All pigments contain no metals.
Conneaut Leather strictly adheres to all EPA guidelines and government regulations. We have our own water treatment process and our water is tested daily.
We are a member of the Leather Industries of America organization to keep up abreast of all new environmental legislation and ideas to keep all processes in compliance.
