Really
, This is a very critical situation facing many countries like india,there water reusrces are very less or shrinking so, if we continue using water in denim industry without thinking for next generation, one day it will be a serious problem in term of drinking water also. so we have to be developed washes like
less water or water less.
But again its a limit for Fashion industry.
because we dont have so many technology or chemicals from that we can produced good fashion washes or fulfill requirement of fashion industry.

So here one option is there we have to be caring for natural water resource, or we have to be develop technology for recharging of water resources.

Thanks

The author seems to lack some understanding of the history of Ozone technology, which has been around for many years. Used in the USA and forgotten for a while, while in Turkey it has been part of the “standard equipment” for many companies.

G 2 is but one, a new comer into the Ozone Technology which has one great limitation, the output capacity of their Ozone generator. There are generators with 10 times the output of the G 2 which can be connected to multiple tumblers and the TOTAL BLEACHING can be accomplished, 150 pcs. per cycle, in less than 40 minutes.

Ozone is here to stay, as many large and small companies are beginning to understand the cost of not having the right technology for the future.

Where to begin, I 100% agree that we need better practices and that the garment industry as a whole can and should do better. BUT, this article points out that we should use organic cotton. Which is a good idea, however it in as not as eco-friendly as we think. It takes just as much, or more water for organics and at time 4X the amount of land. A good solution is proper farming methods (not factory farming methods) that use pesticides in a controlled setting. You get the best of both worlds.
The second is that the article points out the various chemicals use and how bad they are, yes many are very bad. But many companies offer “Green” products, and we should be teaching factories better responsibilities such as water treatment.
I don’t know that this article “opened” my eye’s to anything but misinformation.

Very good article and a eye opener. If we are really serious about our and our next generation’s future, we have to start taking such issues seriously and protect our mother earth. Use of eco-friendly chemicals, minimise water and energy consumption can be easily achieved with little extra effort and change of processes.
My sincere thanks to the author of this article for taking such pains in writing this article.
