Body Text: <p>Traditional denim processes such as sandblasting are unhealthy and being phased out of the industry. Laser treatments such as this one from Jeanologia supersedes traditional processes, to give fabrics a vintage appearance by burning the garment with a laser. The technology provides faster production cycles as well as resource savings in waste, water and energy.</p> <p><b>How does it work?</b><br> Designs are customised and stored within a data base. The laser reads the design and then burns into the fabric at various intensities to alter the effect of shading. Products can be further treated through traditional wet wash processes, or with an Ozone treatment </p> <p><b>Increased efficiencies:</b><br> Production speeds are cut from 20 minutes (sandblasting average) to between 30 seconds – 3 minutes per garment. </p>

Body Text: <p>By combining biology and technology, the BIONIC FINISH ECO from Rudolf delivers hydrophobic properties without the use of fluorocarbon chemistry. </p> <p>Inspired by biomimicry, and the water repellency we see in nature, this technology is based on hyper branched polymers called dendrimers. This hyper branched structure offers up maximum density of hydrophobic functionality per unit volume.</p> <p>The finish is applied in the same way as any durable water repellency (DWR) treatment and that can be as a foam, spray, exhaust or pad application.</p> <p>Performance is comparable with a C6 based DWR when applied to polyester. As fabric structure and composition can have an effect on the performance, it is suggested that each fabric quality is tested to satisfy performance requirements.</p>

Body Text: <p>Technology, Process and Impact</p> <p>Replacing traditional chemical or burning finishing (singeing) treatments, Novozymes’ biopolishing is a textile finishing process whereby cellulase enzymes modify the surface of cotton fabrics. Novozymes’ provide a sustainable technology that prevents pilling, enhances colour retention and ensures smoother, softer, stronger fabrics that are durable to many washes, thus increasing the longevity of the fabric.</p> <p>The effect of biopolishing cotton and other plant based fibers is that after many wear-and-wash cycles, clothes continue to look new for longer.</p> <p>Novozymes calls this long-lasting effect “Livelong®”. Novozymes solution for mills and laundries is the biotechnology that creates the Livelong effect. Livelong means the clothes will last at least 20% longer, which also means the clothes are that much gentler on the planet’s resources and will help reduce textile waste.</p> <p>Biopolishing is traditionally done separately. However, by combining process steps, Combi Polish is possible in a shorter process time, which saves more water, energy and costs than any other biopolishing method.</p> <p>The enzymes used in this technology are biodegradable, natural proteins that require a very low dosage.</p>

Body Text: <p>Novozymes has a long track record of using life cycle assessment to measure the environmental impacts of its products and support its sustainability claims.</p> <p>One of the most recent studies was based on full scale production at an Indian textile mill [1]. It compared the conventional bioblasting approach, which involves separate bleach clean-up, bioblasting and dyeing steps, with an alternative approach that consolidates all three steps into one by use of the Novozymes Cellusoft Combi ®. It considered the carbon and water impacts added by introduction of Cellusoft Combi ® with the savings achieved by its use. As shown on the figure, the results showed significant net carbon and water savings for each ton of fabric produced. In addition, processing times were cut almost in half (180 mins to 100 mins) and, given the mills specific circumstances, cost savings of 25% could be achieved.</p>
