CHT Gruppe launcht neue Marke für Jeans- und Garmentbehandlung

Die ökologischen und sozialen Bedingungen bei der Herstellung von Textilien rücken in den Vordergrund und in das Bewusstsein der Industrie- und Endkunden. Mit der neuen Marke LAB102 möchte das „Jeans & Garment“-Team der CHT Gruppe ihren weltweiten Denim-Kunden zukünftig nachhaltige chemische Lösungen und Technologien anbieten.

Woher kommt der Name „LAB102 – Blue veins of CHT“?
LAB wurde nicht nur gewählt, weil das englische Wort für Labor perfekt zu einem Chemieunternehmen passt, sondern auch, weil es für Innovation, Entwicklung und Entdeckung steht. Die Ziffern 102 im Namen verweisen auf die Hausnummer der CHT-Unternehmenszentrale in Tübingen.
Der Slogan "Blue veins of CHT" hält die Verbindung zu dem in der Branche bekannten Namen CHT aufrecht. Zudem ist die Denim- bzw. Jeansindustrie traditionell und historisch gesehen Indigo – also blau.

Nachhaltigkeit im Fokus
Nicht nur die Chemie, sondern auch die Technologie steht bei LAB102 im Fokus. Vernebelungs-, Laser- und Ozontechniken sind Innovationen, die aktuell neue Wege in der Jeans- und Garment-Behandlung ermöglichen und sich auf einem hohen ökologischen Niveau bewegen. Ihre Verwendung kann zu Einsparungen an Wasser und Energie führen. Auch der Einsatz von Chemikalien kann reduziert werden, wenn Prozesse optimiert und an die neuen Anforderungen angepasst werden. Dafür arbeitet das „Jeans & Garment“-Team der CHT Gruppe bei Neuentwicklungen weltweit mit den führenden Maschinenherstellern zusammen.

EPIC Group and CleanKore: Plans to Advance Sustainable Denim

The partnership will aim at eliminating hazardous Potassium Permanganate Spray and most manual processes in denim finishing, while reducing Greenhouse Gas emissions, water and chemical use in the process

Hong Kong based Epic Group, a leading garment manufacturer for global brands today announced its strategic partnership with CleanKore, a denim innovation and patent licensing company. This partnership aims at scaling the CleanKore patented yarn dyeing technology that provides numerous sustainability benefits for both the denim mill and garment manufacturer.

CleanKore patented technology changes the chemistry and the process used to dyeing yarns at the denim mills by keeping intact the white core of the yarn and only dyeing the surface. This technology significantly reduces water, chemicals and process time in the denim garment finishing stage.

CleanKore patented technology changes the chemistry and the process used to dyeing yarns at the denim mills by keeping intact the white core of the yarn and only dyeing the surface. This technology significantly reduces water, chemicals and process time in the denim garment finishing stage.

Denim garment finishing often involves onerous manual processes such as handsanding and hand whiskering, spraying of harmful Potassium Permanganate (PP) (done by heavily protective equipment donned personnel), and multiple washing cycles. CleanKore technology coupled with lasers enable elimination of the PP spray process, significantly improving health and wellbeing of apparel workers, as well as emissions of harmful chemicals. Manual processes are eliminated in most styles and significantly reduced in others.

CleanKore technology also enables the reduction of wash cycles – reducing water, chemical use and process time, adding to the sustainability credentials of the end products. The products currently tested by Epic Group and CleanKore demonstrate up to 44% of water savings in garment finishing and up to 60% of energy savings in the fabric dyeing stage, along with the elimination of PP spray.

Through their partnership, Epic Group and CleanKore are planning to rapidly scale up the adoption of this technology in partnership with Epic Group’s customer base. In the first year, the partnership plans to reach over 4 million pairs of denim and working towards a scale of 15 - 20 million pairs of denim per annum in the next 3 years, converting a large portion of Epic Group’s denim production to CleanKore technology.

Officina39 presents Trustainable™ collection FW 23 at Kingpins

Chemistry plus creativity” is Officina39’s new tagline expressing the most important values at the core of the company’s approach, founded on a deep understanding of sustainability. Embracing the “plus” that used to feature as part of the Officina39 logo, it now takes the shape of a true formula of innovation that echoes throughout the renovated brand look that the company is introducing for the first time at Kingpins.

The latest addition to the Trustainable™ collection is Aqualess Fade, a technology that recreates the bleaching effect of chlorine on fabrics, a waterless special compound for the discoloration of denim on indigo/black garments which is reducing resource consumption and environmental impact. This innovation completes and integrates Aqualess Mission, a combination of technologies that allows garment laundry processes to reduce 75% of the water use.

This innovation completes and integrates Aqualess Mission, a combination of technologies that allows garment laundry processes to reduce 75% of the water use.

Traditional systems usually use about 52 liters of water for a pair of jeans, while Officina39’s cutting-edge technology employs only 12.5 liters without affecting the quality of the final product. Until now, the process included three eco-friendly technologies: Novascraper Indigo, a laser finishing technique that adds a natural, vintage look to denim garments; OZ-ONE Powder, an advanced product to give garments a bleached yet eco-friendly treatment, for a worn and distressed look; and Aqualess Aged, a waterless compound to give denim abrasion effects.

“In our field, the word “less” is to be found pretty much everywhere you look: less water, less energy, less impact and the list goes on. So I asked myself if we could work on implementing the word “plus” in this collection.” stated Stefano Parrotta, Officina39 Technical Manager. “And the answer, of course, was yes: we thought of all the ways in which the idea of more (plus) best represents what we do – more passion, more creativity, more collaboration, more inspiration, more Officina39. I think it is important to look for what the industry needs more of and the word “plus” perfectly embodies that!”
