3. From technology to know-how, Jeanologia develops industrial solutions to improve garment finishing. In collaboration with Cotton
Incorporated, this denim collection illustrates the design capabilities and environmental impact of Jeanologia’s range of finishing
technologies.
Produce elaborate, precise, custom designs - from whiskers, chevrons, breaks, fading to actual images.
Effects are easy to design and reproduce. Eliminates the need for sandblasting and manual scraping by
utilizing laser technology.
Achieve washed-down, faded effects through the use of ozone. This waterless washing machine utilizes
oxygen and plasma to accomplish the highly desired vintage look. Reduces water, chemical and energy
consumption by washing denim with the atmosphere.
Create superior handfeel by applying nanobubbles of air, water and softener. The e-Soft technology
eliminates the need for a chemical bath, reducing energy, water, and chemical consumption. Decreases
environmental impact by eliminating discharge and using minimal amounts of water and softener.
Environmental Impact
Measuring icons to
quantify finishing impact
Quantify the environmental footprint of your denim with a software solution. The Environmental Impact
Measuring (EIM) software generates awareness and enables the industry to create innovative finishes in a
more sustainable way by measuring the water, energy, chemical, and worker impact. Now, you can easily
understand your denim’s impact and design to improve it.
