This concept has been imbibed by Garmon and Bozetto – who are a chemical manufacturing company from Italy and firmly believe in innovation with sustainability.   According to them , world still lacks the know-how and technologies to be 100% sustainable; but they are doing their bit and  moving forward by :

  • Reducing the water consumption required for treating garments
  • Reducing the temperatures required, required energy and Co2 emissions.
  • By using chemicals with lower environmental impact.

They mention that they can reduce water consumption by combining a range of production processes:

  • WaterSTONE WASH + BIO-BLEACH Savesat least24 lt. per garment(2rinsesr.b. 1/10 + bleachr.b. 1/10)
  • NEUTRALIZATION + DESIZINGSavesat least16 lt. per garment(neutralizationr.b. 1/10 + rinser.b. 1/10)
  • NEUTRALIZATION + STONE WASHSavesat least16 lt. per garment(neutralizationr.b. 1/10 + rinser.b. 1/10)
  • SOFTENER+ BIO-POLISHINGSavesat least16 lt. per garment(bio-polishingr.b. 1/10 + rinser.b. 1/10)
  • SOFTENERSPRAYSavesat least4lt. ofwater per garment

  • STONE WASH AT 40°CA saving of 15°C equal to 1.5 m3of methane and 2.85 Kg C02
  • BIO-POLISHING AT 40°CA saving of 10°C equal to 1 m3of methane and 1.9 Kg C02
  • COLD BIO-BLEACH A saving of 40°C equal to 4 m3of methane and 7.6 Kg C02
