    India Exports Over 15 Mil. Mtrs Of Denim In Sept 2020

    Covid 19 has had a major impact on various industries globally and textile/apparel is one of the worst-hit. Denim being a part of this industry is even more hit with most large retailers around the world shutting doors on their stores.

    India exports a lot of denim fabrics and in this report, we analyze how the impact of Covid19 can be seen on the exports. We are covering the denim export from India in September 2020.

    COUNTRY WISE DENIM EXPORTS SEPT 2020

    There are 11 major countries where India exported approx. 78% of its total exports. The list primarily included Bangladesh, Egypt, Colombia, the USA, Mexico, and Sri Lanka. Total export from India stood at 15.13 million meters at an average price of $1.86/meter.

    In Sept 2020, Egypt emerged as the 2nd biggest export destination for Indian Denim Mills with a total export of 1.25 million meters followed by Colombia with 1.02 million meters. Bangladesh remained the biggest denim export destination, though there has a fall of approx. two million meters from March 2020 denim export figures. In March 2020 Bangladesh bought 6.63 million meters and in March 2019 the import was more than 9.5 million meters. In other words, If we compare the figures for Sept 2020 with March 2019, the fall would be close to 50%.

    Bangladesh used to have a 40-50% share in the total Indian denim fabric export however during Covid and Post Covid, it is being said that Bangladesh is mostly buying from its local denim mills and has reduced its dependence on overseas mills including Indian mills.

    Apart from that, there have been unreasonable delays faced at Custom Clearance due to which shipments are getting delivered with a delay of 3-4 weeks, that might be a reason as to why the correct figures have not been captured, having said that, that is going to affect 1-2 % of export data, not that much which we have been witnessed in this report.

  • Sustainability In Denim Clothing Company – An Evaluation

    Sustainability In Denim Clothing Company – An Evaluation

    Denim Clothing Company is one of the leading Garments Manufacturers & Exporters from Pakistan. The company has fully vertically integrated set up from spinning to finished denim garment products and working with some of the leading denim brands across the globe.

    In a recent talk with their marketing team, we understood that they have been working very hard on continuously improving their sustainable quotient and we asked them about the achievements related to different aspects of sustainability and circularity .

    Raw Material and Fibers

    The importance of fibers is growing in the denim industry with a focus on sustainable fibers with lesser climate impact. DCC is using more than 70% sustainable fibre elements in their regular production. Also, as far as the products having Zero Cotton base is concerned, they launched this concept around two seasons ago and are still innovating this concept with more variants and improvement.

    So far 10% of their products are having zero cotton base in production. In this concept, all fibers are from botanical sources and possess versatile properties. They are using Viscose and Lyocell as primary fibres at the moment. In the coming season, there will be more variety in this segment as per DCC.

    The company is continuously increasing the pre and post-consumer wastes in their regular mix of products, they had started by offering 17-20% PCW and now they are offering more than 40% combining both PCW and PIW.

    Their aim is to increase PCW content whereas they have achieved a higher percentage of PIW. Their marketing team mentions that they are exploring all possibilities of utilizing recycled resources for both natural and synthetic fibres. Some of the components are PCW, PIW, RCP.   

    Water and Chemical Management In Fabric Production 

    Water-saving and recycling is another important aspect of denim sustainability alongwith a right mix of chemicals . In this area, DCC mentions following achievements : 

    1. % of wastewater recycling: 50% of wastewater in DCC denim mill and garment factory. 
    2. Recovery of dyes and chemicals including caustic soda from wastewater: 50% recovery of caustic soda through caustic recovery plant.  
    3. Innovative technologies/methods used in the indigo dyeing process to reduce water usage: Zero discharge indigo dyeing technology has been adapted which saved 70% of water consumption. Dystar’s Cadira Zero Discharge and Salt-free dyeing technology has been used.
    4. Latest denim finishing processes used: Waterless finishing which completely eliminates utilization of water during finishing. This ECO Finish also helps in enhancing fabric character and gives a very authentic look.  

    Water and Chemical Management in Garment Production 

    In this segment, we would talk about the Washing machines and processes used to reduce water consumption during garment washing. DCC uses the following technologies which are being used in more than 50% of their bulk production:

    Washing machines and processes

    DCC has been using OZONE as an alternative to a conventional bleaching system and Stone Free Enzymes to achieve high abrasion and contrast effect.

    So far as the PP replacement technologies used is concerned, DCC uses an alternative of PP through Green Chemistry and claims to maintain low impact scoring through EIM. Usage of Oeko-Tex certified dyes throughout their production and sampling helps the process further alongwith Low Liquor Ratio Dyeing Techniques .

    Energy Management 

    DCC has been using all forms of energy in a very judicial way and managed to minimize the consumption of conventional sources of energy including electricity.

    The company reuses Condensate steam in the boiler as their efforts to recycle heat energy produced in the factories. DCC has also planned to install solar panels of capacity 40% to 50% of their total energy consumption.

    Social Sustainability

    In a general perception, Sustainability is considered only as efforts towards saving water, energy, and carbon foot-prints however social sustainability which includes labor rights, wage equality, and a better working condition has not been talked about.

    Some of the Social Sustainability efforts of DCC are as follows:

    1. Employee management and social welfare especially during 2020.
    2. Community management and contribution to CSR activities

    Efforts to contribute to the health and safety of the community in covid times

  • Ramsons – Interview With Sunder Belani On Sustainability Efforts

    Ramsons – Interview With Sunder Belani On Sustainability Efforts

    Sunder Belani(MD)
    Ramsons Garment
    Finishing Equipment’s Pvt Ltd

    Denimsandjeans spoke to Sunder Belani – Managing Director of Ramsons Garment Finishing Equipments Pvt Ltd and tried to understand their efforts towards sustainability and their latest machines and their experience during Covid times.

    Please share a brief background of Ramsons

    Ramsons is a 60 years old company started around the fifties. We are a proud made in India company with an international presence. We have three European joint venture collaborations and we manufacture 190 different products in four state of the art production units in and around the south of India. We also have over 15 sales and service offices of our own and agents in about 40 countries.

    We are the biggest manufacturers in Asia for sustainable laundry equipment, washer extractors, vertostar, garment dyeing machines, nano nebulizing machine, ozone machines, foam machines, steam ironing systems, storage systems, and a lot of other co-related products for the apparel trade.

    What does sustainability mean to you as a company?

    We at ramsons believe that the starting point of any product is not in the design but in its sustainability. We also believe in the five r’s of sustainability reduce, reuse, recycle, repair, and refuse. We also believe at ramsons that meaningful sustainability is the road to meaningful prosperity.

    What are the main products of your company which enable sustainable garment production?

    Sustainable products that we have been focusing on in the last decade have been ozone technology. The ramsons ozone equipment is internationally accredited by SGS as the safest and the most productive pure ozone technology available on the planet.

    We also have nebulizing fog and foam machines that enable lower water requirements, lower chemical, lower energy requirements, and hardly any load on the effluent system. We’ve also got a conveyorized drying system as the dryer is the biggest consumer of energy in a laundry. And we have a system that uses air or natural drying to reduce about 80% of the drying power load. We also have an XDRUM technology where we realized that the only way to reduce stone powder or use of stone on jeans is by substituting it with another polymer that can be reused.

    We tied up with Xeros in the UK and have developed the technology that reuses polymer but still creates the effect of no stone with lower water, lower chemical, and no load on the etp. These are some of the new products that we’ve come up with. We also have a lot more in garment finishing like the trouser topper made in collaboration with our German partner Veit.

    Health is becoming so important. Have you come out with some health and wellness technological products?

    Ramsons is proud to announce its foray into disinfection, sterilization, and medical devices and equipment. From cleanroom hygienic barrier washers technology to UV/ozone sterilization disinfection systems. From ethylene dioxide sterilization systems to oxygen generators. From steam sterilization to infrared systems. From nano anti-microbial to foam technology.

    How has covid19 enabled you to reinvent your company

    To give a company an entirely new angle of thinking along with sustainability we realized that sterilization and hygiene have become so important. Most of the equipment now also focuses on products necessary for covid-19 and also on hygiene and sterilization.

    What are the main technologies you think will be used in the garment processing in coming years.

    Technologies that can be used in the coming years are definitely those that will we use very little water hardly any chemistry, energy-efficient, little more robotic because the human labour is going to be hard to find and human labour transfer during covid is limited.

    Any sustainability targets for your company ?

    As a company, we want to give back to the earth what we have taken from the earth. This has been a sustainability target in all our products.

    Elin by Elasten | Yarn | Italy

    Sustainable Products

    Elasten offers a wide range of hyper-sustainable products since we use linen, hemp, or similar -the greenest materials- from 80 to 95% in composition combined with the elastic fibre through the most innovative elasticization techniques. This generates durability of final products which was never seen before.

    Elasten invented a new technology called BFlex which puts more plies of hyper-sustainable materials together creating a technical and fluid effect. It can be applied on any kind of material, depending on which the natural stretch effect or the brand new handle will be more evident. Materials are used 100% in composition thus they can be recycled as many times as you wish.

  • Re-Sync: One Size Fits All – By Soorty

    Re-Sync: One Size Fits All – By Soorty

    Soorty is crafting adaptive jeans to minimize the industry’s waste and welcome inclusive fashion.

    We are all one
    We are all different
    We are all unique.

    We come together,
    In our own colors, beliefs, cultures
    And traditions
    To form the most beautiful place there is.

    Our planet, our home.
    In harmony.
    Together.

    #realitycheck: 

    Following the pandemic,  the landfill problem did not recover but actually got even worse with people’s careless disposal of masks, gloves, and every other waste. 

    Each year the fashion industry produces around 150 billion garments;
    30% of this is never sold
    84% that is sold, ends up in a landfill. 

    Apparel eCommerce is currently worth $360 billion.
    On average 40% of clothing sold online is returned due to incorrect fit & size.
    This adds up to a $144 billion problem! 

    In today’s fashion universe, fitting efficiency becomes more critical than ever before as consumers hesitate to go back to brick & mortar stores following the pandemic and have switched to online shopping instead. While online is an amazing channel to help design the future of our industry, the giant environmental and financial impact it is contributing to cannot be neglected. So many consumers from all around the world buy with the “I can just return if it doesn’t fit/look/feel well” philosophy without thinking about where those returns end up.

    Soorty’s Re-Sync concept is born from this consumer insight as part of their ongoing MINUS ZERO WASTE initiative which aims not only to reduce and repurpose waste but go beyond it to pioneer alternative ways of responsible production to reduce the stress on Earth caused by the landfills. Dedicated to offering products that fit perfectly no matter what, Soorty has developed the one size fits all technology, designed to be their step forward towards inclusive fashion with environmental and financial savings.

    Re-Sync offers a science-supported, intelligent, and conscious way of using what is limited to create beautiful problems and waste no more. The Re-Sync jeans provide the ultimate support to the wearer, sculpting the body with a 360 stretch comfort, enabling the garments to perform well 2 sizes up and down.

    – MADE BY HUMANS, MADE FOR HUMANS
    Value-driven, consumer-centric, and inclusive fashion to make clothing comfortable, desirable, and user-friendly.

    We only need to look so far as the common people on the street to recognize how diverse we are, and diversity is beautiful. Fashion has the power to glorify bodies and identities — to include them in a narrative of existing, wellbeing, beauty, or sophistication.

    Beauty comes in all forms and inclusivity is fundamental to dispelling stereotypes and integrate every single one of us in the society. Acknowledging everybody’s differences and not pretending that every body type is the same is crucial to tap different needs in the jeans market.

    Soorty is Re-Syncing to tap the need of inclusivity and diversity as consumers with different body types will feel more at comfort who like the existing trends and actually fitting and feeling good in them.

    With the increased accessibility to anything delivered by online shopping, Soorty believes it is time we use engineering knowhow to design & produce clothing that recognizes that what we all have in common is stronger than any difference in our physical appearance.

    The one size fits all technology is a consumer-centric approach welcoming differences with elevated efficiency.

    For more information on this technology, contact at this email mansoor.bilal@soorty.com and meet them personally at SUSTAINABLE INTERPLAY Event on Nov 23rd .

    Sustainable Products

    Archroma’s new aniline-free* indigo dye, Denisol® Pure Indigo 30 Liq, reduces risk when producing the traditional, iconic indigo blue that consumers associate with denim and jeans. During production, some of the aniline stays locked into the indigo pigment, and is difficult to wash off the fabric. The remainder of the aniline impurity, approximately 300 metric tons, is discharged during dyeing.

    EarthColors is Archroma’ss patented a new method of creating warm shades from nature. These high-performance dyes are synthesized from non-edible agricultural or herbal industries waste such as leaves or nutshells. Thanks to smart technologies, EarthColors® dyes are fully traceable from natural waste material to the store.

  • SEI Laser takes sustainability to another level

    SEI Laser takes sustainability to another level

    We only have one world.

    Eco sustainability is no longer a wish: it’s a must. The textile and denim industries, together with the whole garment supply chain are deeply involved: we need to go further.

    The next step is a new laser solution that can disrupt the old manufacturing supply chain rules of the denim world. The usual blue jeans manufacturing process involves several steps, starting with a model design it goes through weeks or even months of prototyping after there’s production: preparing the fabric for cutting and manufacturing, assembling the garments, and then going through many laundries and finishing steps, all of them involving a lot of water, with extensive use of chemicals.

    A time-consuming process, often ending up with pollution. Imagine a totally new path, allowing you to skip most of this. Imagine a fully digitalized process that begins by absorbing a normal 2-dimensional garment prototype design and transforms it immediately into a 3D view of the real garment, simple to use, simple to understand, and able to transform the garment almost in real-time, because what you actually, see on the screen it’s exactly what the laser machine will do: used effects, bleaching, stone
    wash look, breakings…all in one single laser pass.

    Well , this is what SEI laser intends to achieve with their new machines and software.

    A full garment that our special EnGenius software will re-transform into the final 2D view, including all cutting instructions, with all pieces, clearly identified, with all the sizes immediately adapted with the correct design, look, and effects size…all done in a click.

    Then imagine the power of light, duly managed by Masters of laser, a machine that marks all the effects and design in one single step, numbering and identifying all the pieces, even marking the content of the label on denim and then cutting immediately all the pieces that make up the garment.

    Now imagine a robot that picks for you all these pieces and while the laser works on another garment, piles them up in bundles, ready to go for the stitching lines, but all of them clearly and unmistakably identified.
    Imagine an optimized fabric consumption, cutting shapes that were previously impossible with traditional systems, because there are no blades cutting: just an incredibly precise laser beam.

    Imagine a continuous flow of production, running smoothly with no interruptions, easy to master, and capable of working 24/7 Imagine there’s now just a simple home wash after the assembling of the garment – no traditional laundry process – no water waste – no chemicals – no pollution.
    Works with denim of course, but also natural and artificial fabrics, technical clothing, sportswear, even shoes, and accessories.

    You have achieved the next step, avoiding the old traditional production process. Now imagine a new concept of time-to-market, by placing this fantastic system close to the final customers, in every country, or town…
    No need for expensive airconditioned rooms: a laser system that works efficiently almost everywhere, easy to install, and run even in the middle of a city.

    A laser system that allows us to design, approve, manufacture, and deliver a garment within 24 hours to the final customer, even a personalized one or tailor-made. Now stop imagining: get ready to change the game.

    As this is reality, This is the next step, This is Matrix Textile from SEI Laser, Italy. Get to know more about their latest offerings at our SUSTAINABLE INTERPLAY VIRTUL EVENT on Nov 23 or email them at amonti@seilaser.com
