The Perfect Pump Black

Sustainability

Water Usage: The tanneries that ESSĒN collaborates with work with wastewater recover plants in order to recycle and reuse the water and minimize waste. The production wastewater is transferred to a local treatment plant, where it gets treated, sanitized and returned to the environment. ESSĒN also uses non-toxic, chrome-3 tanned aniline leathers. This process uses significantly less water and energy and the final leather is water resistant, softer and thinner, making for a more comfortable final product.

Cruelty Free: All leather used is a by-product of the meat industry, which would otherwise go to waste. The leather used is LWG certified.

Friendly Materials: All leather used is non-toxic, aniline leather is used where suitable. ESSĒN also uses recycled rubber and plastics whenever available.

Giveback Culture: ESSĒN partners with i=Change and a percentage of each sale goes to one of three charities involved with either cleaning the sea, supporting Syrian refugees and helping women build their future.

Considerately Produced: ESSĒN partners with TR[1]BE to carbon compensate and support energy efficiency, forestry and clean energy projects.

Packaging: Boxes are made from recycled cardboard and the inks used are soy-based, the tape used is strictly paper tape.
