Exploring the sustainability of E-flow nanobubble technique in denim finishing with an analysis of product quality

The apparel industry, specifically the denim washing sector, faces significant sustainability challenges due to its detrimental effects on water contamination and the production of enormous amounts of chemical waste. This study examines using e - flow treatments on denim fabric and evaluates its sustainability using Environment Impact Measuring (EIM) software. E - flow technologies are compelling alternatives to conventional denim finishing methods because they reduce water and chemical use in textile manufacturing. e - Flow Technology uses micronization and nebulization to replace traditional abrasion methods, utilizing air nanobubbles for improved performance chemistry. This technology allows for more flexible finishing operations, conserving water, reducing application costs, and ensuring the right amount of chemicals remain in the garment. The EIM technique assesses the ecological impact of clothes across four key domains: water, chemical, energy, and labor consumption in the production process. The EIM platform aims to evaluate the environmental impact of apparel finishing processes, thereby enhancing the production stage's environmental performance. It is a self accreditation tool for the clothing finishing industry, giving laundromats and garment finishers an advantage in creating greener operations. The study's findings provide valuable insights into the sustainability and comfort elements of e -flow nanobubble finishes in denim production, which can inform future advancements in the textile industry.
