Devan and Jeanologia team up for water reduction
Textiles finishing group Devan has teamed up with technology provider Jeanologia to analyse the water needed when applying its products.
The Belgian and Spanish companies studied the application of the products through Jeanologia’s e-Flow technology, which can help to reduce water and produces zero discharge, according to the company. It also lowers the cost of application, reduces water and ensures the correct amount of chemistry stays in the garment, it added.
The companies say this allows mills and brands to apply Devan’s technologies in a more sustainable way.
Vanessa Daelman, chief technology officer at Devan, said: “We are delighted that we could work together with Jeanologia and establish that Devan technologies can be easily applied via these technologies onto garments or fabrics like denim and with full retention of functionality.
“This application method also allows post-garment treatment of our finishes, for example an antimicrobial treatment on to already finished garments, which will be increasingly important in a more circular textile world where re-use plays an important role.”
