WTiN speaks with Begoña Garcia, environmental impact measurement director at Jeanologia, about chemical bans in the textile finishing sector.
Jeanologia is a Spanish technology company specialising in sustainable, eco-efficient denim finishing technologies.
Garcia speaks about how sustainability in the denim finishing sector has evolved. She delves into what brands and consumers are requiring and desiring from their garments.
During the episode we discuss how chemical bans are changing the sector, with a particular focus on how the ZDHC Foundation has added potassium permanganate to its chemical watchlist. Garcia explains how Jeanologia has developed solutions to eliminate the harmful chemical from manufacturing processes.
Additionally, Garcia touches upon what she believes governments should be prioritising when it comes to chemicals in the textile finishing sector and how departments such as environmental impact measurement can influence decision-making.
