Resortecs produces a stitching thread which dissolves when exposed to heat for easy repair and recycling of garments. This allows for reduced water usage when compared to traditional disassembly and recycling processes used in closed-loop denim production, and the solution reduces textile waste through enabled ease of recycling.

Pluvia: Continuous low impact machine washing
Step:
Washing
Application:
All Fibres
Replacement for:
Conventional CWR (continuous washing range)
Pluvia offers a continuous washing range (CWR) technology for post-dyeing and post-printing operations. It operates with a low-pressure system between the nozzle and the J-box, maintaining a low liquor ratio, working at low pressure and high volume, significantly enhancing the washing process and has low power consumption compared to other machines.
Substrates tested:
Raw Material:
Cotton
Construction:
Knit
Benchmarks:
CWR (Continuous washing range after dyeing) from Harish
CWR (Continuous washing range after dyeing) from Erbatech
Aii model non continuous washing system
Location: India
Scope:
Dyeing & Washing (Including Steaming & fixation step)
Key Findings:
Performance: Prevents fabric pilling and elongation, no performance related issues observed.
Countries: 5
Implementations: 30

Epricon: Batch Printing pigment & binder system for print, dry and cure process
Step:
Colouration
Application:
Raw Material:
Construction:
Knit
Woven
Replacement for:
Reactive printing
Zydex has developed Epricon, a printing system which utilises a distinctive co-polymer acrylic binder chemistry which reduces process energy demand. Epricon enables users to achieve depth, brightness, feel, and fastness equivalent to reactive printing systems, eliminating the necessity for washing and reducing the occurrence of rejected prints.
Substrates Tested:
Raw Material:
Cotton
Construction:
Knit
Benchmarks:
Reactive printing
Location: India, Sri Krishna spinning & weaving mills
Scope:
Printing (Including Drying, Curing and Finishing steps)
Key Findings:
Performance: Very good. Using the ZYTROL 900 binder system, enhances the hand feel of the fabric which had comparable hand feel to the reactive printing system.
Countries: 2
