In support of COVID-19 response, Trigger Apparels Limited, a Coimbatore-based manufacturer of jeans and related denim products, will produce 1.2 million FDA compliant isolation gowns / coveralls. In coordination with the parent company KG Denim Limited, the leading jeans maker has started manufacturing medical gowns for healthcare personnel.
 
These high demand personnel protective equipment will be distributed throughout India. “Trigger has stood alongside for generations and in light of these unprecedented times, we are joining in the efforts to help the society and the healthcare professionals in the front line,” says Kalyan, vice president-Apparel Operations.
 
Unlike the other products available at present, Trigger products will be reusable, and their freshness enhanced with every repeated wash. 
 
In a recent study by Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) funded by ARTA (American Reusable Textile Association), use of reusable coveralls provides several direct benefits. In terms of energy reduction, selection of reusable coveralls provide: 34 per cent improvement in process energy and a resultant reduction in environmental impacts; 27 per cent improvement in carbon footprint (measured as carbon dioxide equivalents); 73 per cent lower water use than required for disposable coveralls, because water used for processing is returned to stream quality via wastewater treatment; and 93 per cent reduction in waste costs.
 
The company will also make a range of specialty hospital products including coats, dresses, bed linens, curtains, washable masks, etc under a separate banner. Use of these products helps in significant reduction in environmental footprint.
 
All the products are produced out of Circumference Fabrics from KG Denim, conforming to American CDC Guidelines. These fabrics are the first washable / reusable fabrics to be manufactured in India.
 
Trigger has been selling its products all over India through its exclusive brand outlets and also in select international markets.
