Abstract:

Denim washing is gradually entering the list of vital procedures of fulfilling the needs of the world’s evolving fashion industry. The objective of this research is to provide a extensive overview of enzyme wash, bleach wash, acid wash for garments and find out which wash or chemical concentration affected the environment most and compare with eco-friendly sustainable process. The research paper are written for the garments washing professional for detailed casing information.
In this research use indigo dyed denim garments and five parameter of commercial enzyme (1 g/l, 1.5 g/l, 2 g/l, 2.5 g/l and 3 g/l) for enzyme wash, five parameters of Calcium hypochlorite (1 g/l, 1.5 g/l, 2 g/l, 2.5 g/l and 3 g/l) for bleach wash and five parameters of Potassium permanganate (2 g/l, 5 g/l, 10 g/l, 15 g/l and 20 g/l) for acid wash. Similarly use five parameters of eco-friendly chemical for enzyme wash, bleach wash and acid wash.
After Enzyme wash, Bleach wash and Acid wash we do every sample environmental impact measurement (EIM) test by jeanologia. The research test result shows high for enzyme wash, Bleach wash and Acid wash when we use regular chemical but in case of green chemical EIM result show low impact. Green chemical concentration give better performance and also these chemical impacted the environment 80% less than regular used chemical. When chemical concentration increased also impacted the environment more. But in case of green chemical increment of green chemical concentration didn’t affect the environment. But for three most popular wash enzyme wash, Bleach wash and Acid wash when used regular chemical Acid washed chemical impacted the environment most, 2ndly Bleach Wash and 3rdly Enzyme wash. But when do Ozone it’s reduce enzyme wash time, chemical concentration and also created effect like bleach wash. Ozone is eco-friendly process and EIM test result shows zero.That’s why when do enzyme wash, Bleach wash and Acid wash we use Ozone and green chemical instead of commercial enzyme, Sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) and Potassium permanganate (KMnO4).
