Producing denim requires a great quantity of water. Besides growing cotton, most of the water used is discharged as waste-water after industrial processes like indigo dyeing and fabric finishing. While the industry’s focus thus far has been to try to get this waste water to be as clean and clear as possible, Artistic Fabric & Garment Industries (AGI Denim) believes it is time for true change. How about zero waste-water?
Our Double Zero technology combines both of our proprietary True Zero Dyeing and True Zero Finishing, for zero waste-water processes that do not sacrifice looks or quality. This breakthrough technology allows us to save the tremendous amount of water traditionally used in indigo dyeing and mercerize finishing.
By using only the minimum required to allow dyes to penetrate the fabric, all of our dyeing and fabric finishing water is evaporated at the end of the process or recovered, resulting in zero water being discharged, no effluents and no COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand).
