What does sustainable mean?
“Sustainable development
is development that meetsthe needs of the presentwithout compromising
the ability of future generationsto meet their own needs”
BrundtlandPolitician and sustainable development leader

Move Forwardby reducing the water consumption required for treating garments
by reducing the temperatures, required energy and co2 emissions
By using chemicals with lower environmental impact
We still lack the know-how and technologies to be 100% sustainable; but we are already doing a great deal and
we can
5
We can reduce water consumption by combining a range of production processes:
Water
STONE WASH + BIO-BLEACHSaves at least 24 lt. per garment(2 rinses r.b. 1/10 + bleach r.b. 1/10)
NEUTRALIZATION + DESIZINGSaves at least 16 lt. per garment(neutralization r.b. 1/10 + rinse r.b. 1/10)
NEUTRALIZATION + STONE WASHSaves at least 16 lt. per garment(neutralization r.b. 1/10 + rinse r.b. 1/10)
SOFTENER + BIO-POLISHINGSaves at least 16 lt. per garment(bio-polishing r.b. 1/10 + rinse r.b. 1/10)
6
SOFTENER SPRAYSaves at least 4 lt. of water per garment
DIRECT DYEING + BIO-POLISHINGSaves at least 16 lt. per garment(bio-polishing r.b. 1/10 + rinse r.b. 1/10)
REACTIVE DYEING + BIO-POLISHINGSaves at least 16 lt. per garment(bio-polishing r.b. 1/10 + rinse r.b. 1/10)
PIGMENTS DYEING + BIO-POLISHINGSaves at least 16 lt. per garment(bio-polishing r.b. 1/10 + rinse r.b. 1/10)

A 10°C reduction in a process may not seem such an extraordinary result but let’s analyze it in terms of energy savings:
Temperature – Energy – CO2
When an industrial washing machine is loaded with 80 kg of garments, it consumes 500 liters of water every cycle.
To heat up 580 kg (water + garments) from 30 to 40°C, 5800 Kcal (6,75 kWh) are needed (this calculation does not account for the energy required to heat the machine’s structure and maintain temperature).
Using an efficient heater working at 80% of yield, around 6600 Kcal (7,67 kWh) can be obtained from 1 m3 of methane.
8
MORE THAN 1m3 OF METHANE IS REQUIRED
Raising the temperature of a single wash by 10°C means
NOTburning 1m3 of methane
means
NOT EMITTING 1.9 kg.of CO2
into the atmosphere
9
STONE WASH AT 40°CA saving of 15°C equal to 1.5 m3 of methane
and 2.85 Kg C02
BIO-POLISHING AT 40°CA saving of 10°C equal to 1 m3 of methane
and 1.9 Kg C02
COLD BIO-BLEACH A saving of 40°C equal to 4 m3 of methane
and 7.6 Kg C02
Garmon & Bozzetto’s ECO-SUSTAINABLE process allows all production phases to be carried out “cold” or at the lowest possible temperature.
COLD DESIZINGA saving of 35°C equal to 3.5 m3 of methane
and 6.65 Kg C02
10
OVERDYEING AT 40°CA saving of 20°C equal to 2 m3 of methane and 3.8 Kg C02
COLD SOFTENINGA saving of 15°C equal to 1.5 m3 of methane and 2.85 Kg C02
RESIN AT 90°CBy avoiding the curing phase at 140°C, we save about 3 m3 of methane and the equivalent of 5.7 Kg C02
DIRECT DYEING AT 60°CA saving of 30°C equal to 3 m3 of methane and 5.7 Kg C02
COLD PIGMENTS DYEING A saving of 30°C equal to 3 m3 of methane and 5.7 Kg C02

“Cold” desizing: DW LT seriesAmilase enzyme for desizing, already active at 25°C
Stone Wash at 40°C: ATB NLT / ATB 96L Formulated enzymatic (powders and liquid) already activeat 40°C.
Bio-polishing at 40°C: HIDROS TEDFormulated enzymatic liquid active at 40°C; it works at neutral pH making it possible biopolishing on denim garment.
“Cold” bio-bleach: REBIRD ECO-CLaccase enzyme already active at 25°C; it can be used in combination with a special stone-wash cellulase to getstone washing and bio-bleaching processes in a single step.
“Cold” softener: ELAM CLD - ELAM 256softener already exaustible at 25°C New nano-emulsion silicone base useable at 25°C.
ECO-SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTSFOR LOW-TEMPERATURE PROCESSES
12
Resin at 90°C: LEGAFINISH FASTNew resin system that avoid the polymerization step at 140°C; in one single 90°C phase you can achieve drying and curing.
Does not contain formaldehyde.
Overdyeing at 40°C: NATURAL DIRTY/RUSTY L.Overdyeing system at 40°C
Direct dyeing at 60°C: LINEX AS NewDyeing system on resin at 60°C with direct dyestuff.
“Cold” Pigments Dyeing: LINEX PDNew cold pigments dyeing system avoids dirtying ofmachinery and allows good results in term of dip shade.
ECO-SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTSFOR LOW-TEMPERATURE PROCESSES
The use in all processes of a special dispersing agent specifically active at low temperatures such as FORTRES ECO 2 or FORTRES GSL
contributes to the full success of the treatments.
“Cold” means drawing on storage water without heat it.

Our approach involves the use of products and processes that have a low impact on the environment and on water and land-based animal life.
Eco-sustainable chemicals
NO to products containing heavy metals
NO to products containing formaldehyde
NO to products containing permanganate
NO to products containing halogen-derivatives (hypochlorite)
NO to products with bio-accumulative residues
NO to the use of pumice stone (because of themuds it generates, high transport costs, theenvironmental impact of the extractive industry, the wear and tear of machinery)
NO to sandblasting (risky for operators, transportcosts, the environmental impact of theextractive industry)

Eco-sustainable chemicals
YES to products that are highly bio-degradable
YES to products with low toxicity (for human and water life)
