Twin Dragon boosts sustainable denim production

"Finally after three years of development, we are proud to introduce — pre-reduced liquid indigo and eco-finishing–which when used together, has achieved 85 per cent reduction in environmentally hazardous chemical discharge, which could become the new gold standard in the denim textile industry. With the implementation of liquid indigo and eco-finishing, not only have we eliminated tons of chemical and water usage compared to the current dyeing and finishing standards at the mill level but—it stabilised the shade of indigo, increased the colorfastness in both dry and wet crocking and the final denim product has a 3D appearance– it's amazing! In addition, this new eco-denim will help the denim laundry house save water, minimise chemical usage and speed up garment processing–it's the best scenario for both our mills and garment manufacturers," said Dominic Poon, CEO of Twin Dragon Marketing.

Over the last 10 years, Twin Dragon has made significant investments in eco-friendly fibres, such as Lenzing’s Tencel and Modal, has developed their own trademarked Forever Black which eliminates the environmentally costly dye process for black jeans. The eco-denim collection coextends Twin Dragon's dedication to development that positively affects the environment, especially the water eco-systems affected by the denim industry.
