A clear shift toward sustainable and naturally derived materials has been observed across industries, with tannins sourced from plants such as bark, seeds, and fruits being increasingly favored for their biodegradable Nature and functional versatility. In the food and beverage industry, tannins have been utilized for their antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, supporting the extension of shelf life and the enhancement of natural flavors in teas, wines, and functional drinks. Their use has been encouraged by rising concerns over synthetic additives.
The leather and textile sectors have applied tannins as eco-friendly alternatives to chromium-based tanning agents, aligning with growing efforts to reduce environmental impact through vegetable tanning practices. In the pharmaceutical and personal care industries, tannins have been incorporated into herbal remedies, wound care products, and skincare formulations due to their anti-inflammatory and healing properties, supporting the shift toward clean and plant-based products.
