The initiative aims to improve sustainability, traceability and the international market positioning of vegetable-tanned yak leather.
The project worked with the Mongolian Vegetable Tanned Yak Leather Cluster and a network of local tanneries, introducing improvements in beamhouse operations, alternative tanning systems and lower-impact finishing techniques. Over 200 people received training in areas including raw material handling, occupational safety and sustainable production methods. SYL also helped develop traceability systems and guidance to meet international market requirements, supporting the adoption of cleaner, more efficient production practices and positioning yak leather as a high-quality, eco-friendly material.
