Isko to develop sustainable technologies for denim production

  

Turkish denim mill Isko plans to develop new sustainable technologies to use waste and cellulose-based materials for denim production. The mill has partnered with Swedish research and development company MoRe Research, a part of Rise Research Institutes of Sweden for this initiative. The partnership calls on MoRe Research’s expertise to find ways to repurpose the clean and toxic-free cellulose powders produced by decomposed cotton and recycled polyester, and put it back into fabric production. Fatih Konukoğlu, CEO, Isko says, the collaboration has the potential to make a big impact at scale.

Isko has centered its focus on innovations like this as part of its Responsible Innovation strategy, and is celebrated for its R-TWO program using recycled fibers as well as reused cotton that comes from its own production loss. The mill also recently joined the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Jeans Redesign project and announced a licensing agreement for Hong Kong Research Institute of Textiles and Apparel’s (HKRITA) award-winning Green Machine, a technology that fully separates and recycles cotton and polyester blends at scale.
