Widespread use in over 40 countries
The Spanish company Jeanologia specialising in sustainable technologies for the garment finishing industry has brought about a major change in the Bangladesh garment industry through its Environmental Impact Measuring (EIM) software. This is the first software in the world which can measure the environmental impact of the textile industry and allow industry laundries and garment finishing processes to carry out a more sustainable activity.
Jordi Juani, Jeanologia Area Manager of Asia Central, presented this tool at “the Bangladesh Water PaCt” held in Dhaka. He participated in the conference on “Enhancing Supply Chain Collaboration for Sustainable Wet Processing” where he explained that by using EIM, the technology developed by the company for sustainable garment finishing, it is possible to save huge amounts of water, chemicals and energy, in addition to protecting the health of employees.
The software powered by Jeanologia is a great contribution to the denim industry because it allows industry professionals to assess the environmental impact of its activity by calculating consumption of water, energy and chemicals and the impact on the health of workers.
As highlighted by Jeanologia President, Enrique Silla, the EIM software enables professional laundry and textile brands to optimize both their washing processes and production costs. “EIM helps brands to work with its production centers, regardless of the country of production, following all the same parameters for creating their collections in a way that respects the environment,” he said.
He also stated that it is essential that the denim industry is aware of the importance of protecting the environment through technological advances that allow creation of vintage collections respecting the environment and health of workers.
Currently brands such as Jack & Jones, H&M, Tommy Hilfiger or G-Star use the EIM software at their production centers around the world.
The goal of “the Bangladesh Water PaCt” was to show the commitment of both brands of jeans as well as retailers and the Government itself to work in the same direction in order to reduce water consumption and improve working conditions for denim production. Another aim is to show solutions and products that have proven successful from the perspective of sustainability and viability and that are available in Bangladesh market.
