The Spanish company Jeanologia specialised in the development of sustainable technologies for garment finishing presented in Bangladesh its Environmental Impact Measuring software. This is the first software in the world able to measure the environmental impact of the textile industry and allow the industry laundries & garment finishing processes to carry out a more sustainable activity.

Begoña García, responsible for sustainable processes for Jeanologia, presented this tool at "The Bangladesh Water PaCt", on June 9 and 10, in Dhaka. Speaking during the conference, 'Alternatives to conventional denim finishing practices', she explained that, using EIM, the technology developed by the company for sustainable garment finishing, it is possible to save huge amounts of water, chemicals and energy in addition to respecting the health of employees.

"The software, powered by Jeanologia, is a great contribution to the denim industry because it allows industry professionals to assess the environmental impact of its activity by calculating the consumption of water, energy, chemical use and the impact on the health of workers," said Garcia. As highlighted by Jeanologia President, Enrique Silla, the EIM software enables professional laundry and textile brands to optimise both their washing processes and production costs.

"EIM helps brands to work with its production centres, regardless of the country of production, following all the same parameters for creating their collections in a way that respects the environment," remarked Enrique Silla. In this regard, he stated that it is essential that the denim industry become aware of the importance of protecting the environment through technological advances that allow the creation of vintage collections respecting the environment and health of workers.

Currently brands such as Jack & Jones, H&M, G-Star use the EIM software in their production centres around the world. Over 20 years of experience and the prestigious WGSN Global Fashion Award for best sustainable design team in the world, supports the path of this company, which has been positioned as a world leader in the development of sustainable technologies for garment finishing.

The goal of "the Bangladesh Water PaCt" is to show the commitment of both brands of jeans as well as retailers and the government itself to work in the same direction in order to reduce water consumption and improve working conditions for the denim production. Another aim is to show solutions and products that have proven successful from the perspective of sustainability and viability and that are available in Bangladesh market.
