Sustainable Supply Chain
We create Sustainable Supply Chain, KAL main aim in this chain Zero waste and minus CO2 emission. Using Renewable energy sources, natural gas-powered co-generation systems help us for minus CO2 emission, certificated in house recycle factories, organic or recycled raw materials, water-less production systems, biodegradable packaging materials are the keys for Zero Waste.
LEARN MOREYARN
Yarn production is the first step, we don’t use any chemical. BCI, ORGANIC, RECYCLE cotton are keys for our Sustainable raw materials. Synthetic raw materials we use recycled materials such as RECYCLE PES & NYLON from Pet bottles and or chemical recycle systems. BCI cotton Recycled synthetic yarns, Organic cotton, Preconsumer Recycle Cotton, Postconsumer Recycle Cotton, Re-Generated yarns, New type natural yarns, Hemp, Soya Linen.
LEARN MOREDYEING
Rope dye is one of the most important and innovative part of denim production. but also water waste, chemical usage and energy use is high. New type of Dying technology WAW (we are water) save %98.4 of the water compare with conventional Dyeing method of denim %40 of electricity and %60 of chemical usage. We do not allow the use chemicals in our products that have a harmful effect on health or the environment, target to reach zero discharge of hazardous chemicals (ZDHC) from all our products and production processes from 2020. Water-Less, Less energy, Less chemical, ECO solutions, Renewable energy sources.
LEARN MOREFINISHING
For fabric finishing; Finishing machine use huge amount of steam and these steam produce by water and energy. In SSC system we use Renewable energy and we use Cogeneration for steam production by natural gas which is very important for CO2 emission. We produce steam by co-generation and re-use again and again. Preconsumering during all stages. We clean our waste water and re-use it. During Weaving & Finishing processes we spend more energy to run machines. Our partner factories have solar power roofs, Wind Tribunes and own Cogeneration for steam production from natural gas. We collect fabric waste from all factories and turn them into Recycle yarn.
LEARN MOREGarment
We collect fabric waste from all mills and garment factories and turn them into recycle yarn for preconsumering, we collect used garments from brands and turn them into recycle yarns for postconsumer, recycle used nylon packing materials, we use Recycled zipper, we use Recycled sewing yarn, we use renewable energy sources, Result is Zero waste.
LEARN MOREWASHING
ECO washing machines from our partners is the key for less water, New type laser machines are the best sustainable solutions for dry process of denim washing, New type harmless chemicals by ZDCH cert., Ozone washing systems for zero hypochlorite, Best machines for clean your waste water and re-use it Laundry process alone accounts around 40-50% of the carbon footprint of a garment. There are 2 way to minimize carbon print on this stage. By Machine or By Chemical, both methods help us for Water save, Chemical save, Time save, Eco solution for Environmental and Better health conditions for workers.
LEARN MOREPACKAGING
Bioplastics, zero waste and sustainability can be challenging. Innovative biobased and compostable polymers and formulations are designed with Sustainability in mind. Use recycled materials, Use Biodegradable materials, Clean your waste water and re-use it.
LEARN MORETRANSPORTATION
Improve sustainability in transportation is one of the major focus in recent years for many brands. Centralization distribution and full truck load, decarbonizing freight systems with modal shifts, direct shipment to your stores by cutting warehouse shipments if needed that can be quality control by partners with in customer specific standards.
LEARN MORERECYCLE GARMENT
Best option of recycle the garment is still mechanical crop and make fibers, blend these fibers in to conventional cotton, mix and make yarn. This we call Post Consumer Recycling, Chemical Recycle Tech, New Recycling methods.
