Sustainability
Fewer steps. Less water. Less chemicals. More value.
Fewer Steps. Less Water. More Value.
The technical and functional textile industry has relied on circular knitting and weaving processes for decades — requiring wet processes, chemical interventions and energy-intensive stages to reach the final product. Intology's flat knitting technology fundamentally changes this paradigm: eliminating unnecessary steps in the production chain to both reduce environmental footprint and maximise resource efficiency.
6 Steps Become 2
Conventional Knitted Garment Process
New Generation Intology Process
Seven Ways We Reduce Impact
"Leadtime" Sustainability
Conventional knitted technical and/or functional garment production requires a long process cycle, therefore a huge leadtime. New generation INTOLOGY garment production process presents the shortest time saving production process.
Minimum Water Consumption
"INTOLOGY makes it in the greenest way". INTOLOGY technical/functional garments do not consume more than 6 kgs of water for each kg of a garment, while it's not possible less than 30 kgs of water at conventional processes.
Minimum Chemical Usage
Dyehouse pre-treatment and multiple chemical baths are eliminated. Less chemicals, less wastewater, a cleaner production process.
Low Energy Consumption
Reducing from a 6-step to a 2-step process directly lowers energy consumption. Fewer machines, less wet process, less drying, so less heating.
Near-Zero Waste
No fabric waste occurs with fully-fashioned INTOLOGY process, due to the elemination of conventional fabric cutting operations. INTOLOGY process also eleminates serious stock waste and so logistics emissions.
Quality Sustainability
Long process cycles include more and more production fault risks rather than a shorter one. INTOLOGY's shortened process cycle decreases fault risks of the production.
Respect for Nature
Less water, less chemicals, less energy, less waste — all leading to one outcome: less burden on nature.
