Officina +39 says Aqualess Mission can cut water usage by 75%
Chemicals group Officina +39 has launched “the Aqualess Mission” – three products that combine to reduce by three quarters the amount of water typically used in denim and garment laundry processes, according to the Italian company.
It suggests traditional systems use about 52 litres of water for a pair of jeans, while Officina +39’s system uses 12.5 litres.
Its CEO Andrea Venier commented that reducing water usage fits in with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
The three products are: Remover BC, a laser booster that increases the laser effect on indigo or dischargeable dyestuff, saving time and energy and preventing fabric tearing; Aqualess Aged, which creates abrasion effects; and Oz-One Powder, a way to bleach and distress without chlorine and permanganate.
