Promoting productive process sustainability is a basic principle ever present in each of the company ’ s units . Economic and social growth of the communities where it operates , directly and indirectly , is a feature that Tanac has carried since its foundation .
With the shrinking of vegetable extract consumption for leather tanning due to the aggressive synthetic products competition , starting in the 1990s the company found motivation to search for new applications for wattle tannin extract , focusing the research in other product lines , such as coagulants and wood sticker . Around that same period , the company solidified a partnership with the Japanese company Sumitomo to export wattle woodchips to the cellulose industry in Japan . Today these products represent more than 60 % of the company ’ s profits , with 661 tons exported
