Abstract

Washed denim garments represent a popular field of fashion design, and environmental effects of denim washing are being increasingly explored since the process has adverse impacts on the environment due to its chemical discharge and other pollutant emissions that affect water sup-plies. As one of the biggest suppliers of denim apparel manufacturing worldwide, Turkey has also faced problems of high water consumption and pollution. To reveal the pressure on the envi-ronment caused by the denim washing sub- sector in particular, the water related environmental negative impacts in the industry need to not only be quantified, but also reduced. Accordingly, the study was conducted to develop a sustainable washing process for blue jeans for a medium scaled, commercial denim apparel washing plant. The results showed that the sustainable washing approach displayed superior performance with 36% lower grey water footprint (GWF), lower environmental impact in all categories, 28% lower overall energy demand, 50% lower natural gas and 36% lower direct water resource consumption with similar garment quality and washing effect attained.

节水牛仔裤洗涤过程:以土耳其为例

水洗牛仔服装是时尚设计的一个热门领域，水洗牛仔服装对环境的影响正在被越来越多地探索，因为这个过程对环境有不利的影响，因为它的化学排放和其他污染物的排放会影响供水。作为世界上最大的牛仔服装供应商之一，土耳其也面临着高用水量和高污染的问题。为了揭示牛仔洗涤子行业对环境造成的压力，不仅需要量化，而且需要减少行业中与水相关的环境负面影响。因此，本研究旨在为一家中型商业牛仔服装洗涤厂开发一种可持续的蓝色牛仔裤洗涤工艺。结果表明，可持续洗涤方法表现出优异的性能，在达到相似的服装质量和洗涤效果的情况下，可降低36%的灰水足迹(GWF)，降低所有类别的环境影响，降低28%的总能源需求，减少50%的天然气和36%的直接水资源消耗。
