The classical methods\nfor producing jeans in used or stone-washed look demand the use of vast amounts\nof water, energy and chemicals. Furthermore, workers are exposed to toxic\nsubstances and particulate, in part due to using outdated processing methods,\nand their health suffers accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jose Vidal and his nephew Enrique Silla founded Jeanologia<\/a> more than 20 years ago with the objective of reducing emissions, waste and water consumption when finishing garments. By harnessing laser and nanotechnology, and the major increase in industrial productivity this brings with it, they managed to create sustainable solutions for the finishing industry, while always keeping in mind their goal of combining industrial productivity with ecological manufacture and socially acceptable working conditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jose\u2019s and\nEnrique\u2019s secret recipe of having a collaborative team of creatives,\ntechnicians and scientists on-board has meant that the company has grown\nenormously over the years. Jeanologia is currently represented in 60 countries\nand on five continents. It plays a role in the finishing of more than 35\npercent of the five billion pairs of jeans produced worldwide annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Normally, innovative\ntechnology is involved somewhere along the line, such as in the case of the \u201cozone\nwashing machine\u201d. Here, air is converted to ozone which recreates a sun-bleached\neffect on the fabric without using any bleach, dyes, water or chemicals. The\nprocess is quick and highly efficient. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When dyeing\nfabrics conventionally, water is used as a carrier substance. This water is\nthen disposed of together with the dyes and chemicals. Jeanologia uses a technology\nwhich utilizes tiny beads of water to form a carrier film during the dyeing\nprocess to distribute the dye evenly over the fabric. This nanotechnology\nprocess uses significantly less water than conventional methods of production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, Jeanologia\u2019s\nlaser technology also makes it possible to add designs such as marbling, flame\neffects and different structures to textiles in an environment-friendly manner.\nLasers etch and cut the fabric to give it the desired finish, creating an\nauthentic, ecological and easily reproducible look. Using a \u201cvirtual sandpaper\u201d\nin the form of a laser makes it possible to eradicate the need for manually scraping\nor sandblasting fabric. A process which it is highly dangerous for textile\nworkers to carry out manually on account of the fine dust generated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the\nmost important topic for Jeanologia is still \u201cwater\u201d. The company\u2019s declared\ngoal is to save and keep clean as much of this vital resource as possible. By combining\nlaser and ecological technology it is already possible today to finish jeans and\nachieve an authentic vintage finish, dark look or dirt effects using no more\nthan one glassful of water. Conventional textile finishing, on the other hand,\nrequires around 70 litres for the same task. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainability is becoming increasingly important in the textile industry and is one of our special focusses at PromoTex Expo. You will be able to experience many other business models and meet up with experts to discuss the topic of fair and sustainable textile production, eco design, the Green Dot, labels and certification, on the textile campus<\/a> in Hall 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
