Tracking the evolution of denim in the fashion industry, it is often surprising to people to know that the initial design for denim was made for miners and seafarers. The durability of denim made it an instant favorite for all heavy lifting work in the 1800s. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over time, denim has crossed oceans and continents to lodge itself firmly in fashion history. What evolved from a completely practical utilitarian trend turned into a rebellious cultural shift in the 1960s and eventually a lifestyle choice. (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vogue.fr\/fashion\/article\/vogue-encyclopaedia-the-history-of-denim-jeans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">read: The history of Denim Jeans<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But as it transforms from workwear to casual, how did manufacturers re-create that same worn-down look?&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Wearing The Pair Down<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Denim washing and finishing is a highly resource-intensive process. Conventional methods of mass production also use a large amount of water, chemicals, and energy to produce a pair of jeans.&nbsp; To find out more, we took a trip to Unit 23, Shahi Exports\u2019 Denim Unit in Bengaluru. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pulling off Denim<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shahi set up the Denim Division in 2010, with Unit 23 in Bengaluru. Currently, Shahi has two denim garmenting units (Units 1 &amp; 23) and a laundry with a production capacity of 12 million pieces per year. Since then, this newest addition has led the growth towards sustainable operations internally and with the customers.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-bottom is-image-fill-element\" style=\"grid-template-columns:35% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/vornox.in\/shahi1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Laundry-5.0-5-768x512-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29290 size-full\" style=\"object-position:50% 50%\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-6c531013 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p><em>\u201cJudiciously utilizing the four essential resources\u2014 chemicals, energy, water, and our people define sustainability for us. Sustainable operations are not limited solely to environmental factors, but the well-being of our workers is equally important,\u201d Mr. Nandheesh Gowda, General Manager, Laundry.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shahi has adopted the <em>Laundry 5.Zero<\/em> strategy that has been predicted to revolutionize the denim industry.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We bring together cutting-edge technology from all over the world to make a truly global product, not just fashionable but sustainable.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Scrubbing the Chemical Out&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rethinking the production from the design stage, keeping in mind circularity, is key to ensuring the sustainability of the product. The design team at Shahi starts working from the initial stage\u2013 design to minimize the environmental impact of the production. We opt for lighter shades of denim which require a light wash. They demand significantly shorter washing cycles, thus reducing the environmental impact.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A pair of jeans can be \u2018weathered or distressed<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019 using wet and dry finishing processes. Traditional methods of distressing the fabric require workers to scrub them by hand. As the scrubbing sheds layers of blue dust, it is harmful to workers&#8217; health. The finishing process may also require washing with chemicals. Aligning with<em> Laundry 5.Zero<\/em>, Shahi uses laser technologies to reduce the use of grinders and scrubbers. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The intensity of the distressed look depends on three major factors: wavelength, power density, and pulse width of the laser beam. A computer inputs the desired design and guides the laser over the fabric to create a fading or distressed look. It concentrates heat to decompose the dye according to the desired wash style. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/shahi.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Laser-1-768x768-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32655 size-full\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This novel technique provides an alternative to traditional methods such as acid washing, sandblasting, and using potassium permanganate and therefore helps us create a safe and comfortable working environment for our workers. Additionally, laser technology increases our flexibility, speed, and precision to meet significant production needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shahi has developed a single window to facilitate the purchase of chemicals. It helps us to screen the required information about a chemical before purchasing it. The single window is compliant with international standards such as the Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals Manufacturing Restricted Substances List. It makes sure that we do not use any restricted chemicals harmful to the environment in our production and eases the procedure to procure the chemicals. Streamlining the process also helps Shahi align with the needs of our customers. The larger goal is to protect our production workers, local communities, and the environment from the impact of banned or hazardous chemicals and, ultimately, the consumer. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shahi constantly collaborates with the best chemical suppliers to better their processes in the Denims Division.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sustaining the Classic Blue<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The classic blue in denim is created through water-intensive washing processes. A significant way to develop a more sustainable operation for producing denim is to focus on its water consumption. Shahi explored technology providers from around the world to bring down our material liquid ratio (MLR)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from 1:6 to 1:1. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em><strong>The principle<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">e-Flow technology was ideal for reducing water consumption. The technology turns the chemicals into nanobubbles before being subjected to the washing machine. Nanobubbles of air act as a carrier to transmit chemicals into a garment with a minimal quantity of water and zero discharge. This has led to an average of 95% water savings for every denim washed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/shahi.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/65-1-2048x658-min.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32657\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another technology is the G2 Ozone washing machine, which generates ozone from the air to catalyze the indigo fiber dyeing and produces the authentic worn-down look in the desired shade. The water consumed is reduced by 65% and the energy by 20%. The ozone is re-converted into oxygen and released into the air, leaving no harmful by-products. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-bottom is-image-fill-element\" style=\"grid-template-columns:35% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"609\" src=\"https:\/\/vornox.in\/shahi1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Comparison-Table-Old-Me-vs-New-Me-Instagram-Story-2-768x768-1-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29293 size-full\" style=\"object-position:50% 50%\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>W<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hile reducing water consumption in denim production is essential, it is equally important to reduce dependence on fresh water as much as possible.
