Denim manufacturing goes green with Advanced Denim technology

摘要

Denim manufacturing worldwide is headed for a complete change with introduction of a 'greener chemistry' process described at the 16th annual Green Chemistry & Engineering Conference held in Washington. The process, called Advanced Denim, can produce a pair of jeans using up to 92 per cent less water and up to 30 per cent less energy than conventional denim manufacturing methods, according to Miguel Sanchez, a textile engineer at Clariant, a company based in Muttenz (near Basel), Switzerland, that developed Advanced Denim.
