Çalik Denim bets on biodegradability
20/10/2022
The result of a special technology, B210 can be applied to all the mill’s fabrics, whatever their composition and proportion of synthetic fibres. Furthermore, if the garment is washed, which is very often the case, it will biodegrade in an even shorter time, around 90 days, she says.
Biodegradability has been slowly emerging as one of many trends in sustainability, and Calik’s B210 range adds another offering to the market. It is positive in that if ever a garment were left in nature, it won’t stay forever and be a source of pollution, says Ms Ergul.
B210 also offers a solution to the issue of fibre fragmentation and microplastics pollution. Textiles are said to be the source of 35% of microplastics in nature according to a 2017 report by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUNC). Products made in Calik Denim’s new B210 should dissolve, and be gone, in less than a year.
