Abstract:
This study undertakes a comprehensive comparison of various impact factors associated with conventional bleach wash and sustainable bleach wash processes applied to denim trousers. As the textile industry endeavors to balance fashion trends with environmental responsibility, evaluating these impact factors becomes imperative for informed decision-making. The research delves into multiple dimensions, including fabric quality, environmental footprint, and overall sustainability. Denim trousers are subjected to both conventional bleach and sustainable bleach wash processes, and the environmental impact of each process is meticulously assessed, encompassing water consumption, energy usage, and chemical discharge. The findings unveil nuanced distinctions between the two wash processes. While both methods yield comparable garment aesthetics, sustainable bleach wash techniques consistently exhibit superior performance in terms of fabric quality. Crucially, the study uncovers a substantial environmental advantage associated with sustainable bleach wash processes. These techniques demand significantly reduced water consumption and generate minimal chemical waste
compared to their conventional counterparts. Such findings echo broader sustainability
initiatives and the industry's growing commitment to ecological preservation. This study thus advocates for the broader adoption of sustainable bleach wash processes within the denim industry. By comprehensively comparing impact factors, the research highlights not only the superior fabric quality achieved but also the industry's potential to substantially reduce its ecological footprint. Further exploration and collaboration are encouraged to advance sustainable denim finishing techniques, contributing to a more responsible and sustainable future for the textile sector.
