Earthkeepers
Sustainable and authentic, since 2011.
The effort and the commitment to the development of an increasingly sustainable collection finds its truest expression in Earthkeepers. This project, launched in 2011 and still ongoing, combines five technologies that couple the highest quality, featuring a genuine and authentic look, with a sustainable production, in full observance of resources, environment, and workers.
/ LASER
The alternative to traditional methods of bleaching, abrasion, decoration, marking, incision and cutting of the fabric. The precision of the machinery allows the processing of a great variety of patterns and effects in a timely and responsible manner.
/ OZONE
Ozone allows very fast and safe processing, thanks to its natural bleaching property that treats and intervenes on the fabric. This paves the way to multifarious possibilities of personalization in terms of water and chemicals consumption, pollution production and use of machinery.
/ ICE-BLASTING
Sand-blasting has evolved into ice-blasting, which is employed for localized abrasion on jeans. The treatment replaces sand with a high pressure ice jet, resulting in overall waste and chemical saving as well as providing a significant increase of the security level in the workplace.
/ NEW CHEMICAL PRODUCTS
The application of new chemicals, studied and developed to guarantee top quality and high safety standards, avoids the use of substances harmful to man and the environment – like clorine – during processing stages with a reduction in the use of water and energy during the process.
/ NANO BUBBLE TECHNOLOGY
By exploiting the creation of air nano bubbles to carry the chemical agents onto the garment, where they are evenly distributed guaranteeing the highest quality, this technology allows a 70-90% reduction in water consumption.
