“We’ve combined economy and ecology in one groundbreaking innovation,” says Werner Volkaert, managing director of Sedo Engineering. “Denim brands and textile factories can move towards this sustainable production structure easily and with more benefits at a lower cost. It is a win-win solution for our clients, their employees, and consumers.”
Using electricity instead of toxic chemicals to dissolve indigo dyes can not only make a big environmental and economic leap, but also reduce water consumption by 70 per cent, for example by eliminating the need to dilute wastewater, the company said in a press release.
To date, more than 20 SmartIndigo machines are already installed at leading denim producers, helping them to achieve a cleaner production. Some of them have already ordered the second or third machines, seeing the success of their new installation. Also, they are happy with the intensity shading and their economical payback. SmartIndigo technology is BlueSign approved system partner and ZDHC level 3 certified.
