Blue Lab initiative aims at saving water

A unique initiative called Blue Lab, created by the NGO Drip by Drip, aims at developing alternative textile solutions with the lowest possible water footprint, in collaboration with a network of participants. The connection between fashion consumption and water resources is a key fact. Among the key partners, Lenzing provides the fibers, Tearfil supplies yarns, Blue Ben creates the garments, Montebelo works closely with brands, organizations and manufacturers to create responsible fashion products and Agroho is a non-profit organization that is working for marginalized communities in Bangladesh.

This fabric collection has been developed using the following key smart fibers: Tencel Lyocell, Modal, hemp and Roica V550, the sustainable premium stretch fiber from Asahi Kasei, a cradle to cradle certified gold level for material health product and ingredients certified yarn evaluated throughout the supply chain for lower impact on human and environmental health.

This is a range of five amazing water-efficient innovations, whose production is using between 443 liters per kg and 965 liters per kg, while the amount of water needed to produce one kg of conventional cotton fabric ranges from 7,000 to 29,000 liters per kg. The water savings is up to 90 per cent achieved starting from the cultivation of raw materials as well as in the fabric dyeing process.
