Innovative Technologies for Sustainable Denim

HMS and CleanKore have announced a strategic collaboration to redefine sustainability in denim manufacturing. By integrating their patented technologies, the companies aim to deliver a comprehensive solution that reduces environmental impact across the supply chain, from fiber to finishing.

CleanKore’s low-impact dyeing process eliminates the use of harmful Potassium Permanganate (PP) while significantly reducing water, chemical, and energy consumption. This innovation enhances fabric performance and controls dye penetration. HMS complements this approach with its sludge-free composite washing stones, which replace pumice stones and toxic chemicals. These stones reduce water usage, eliminate sludge, and ensure consistent aesthetics. Together, these technologies offer mills and laundries an end-to-end blueprint for cleaner production processes.

Shared Vision for Industry Transformation

The collaboration reflects a shared commitment to making textile production safer, cleaner, and less wasteful. Beyza Baykan, CEO of HMS, emphasized the transformative potential of this partnership: “CleanKore is transforming the beginning of the denim journey, and HMS is transforming the end. By combining our technologies and vision, we will be able to offer the denim world a comprehensive concept to significantly reduce their environmental footprint while saving on time & cost.”

Darryl Costin Jr., CEO of CleanKore, highlighted the synergy between the two companies: “HMS’s breakthrough stone alternative is the perfect counterpart to our dyeing technology, and we look forward to a bright future together.”

Next Steps in Collaboration

This partnership marks the first phase of a broader initiative. HMS and CleanKore plan to launch pilot programs and commercial projects in the coming months, emphasizing the need for collaborative innovation to drive meaningful progress in the denim industry.

By combining their expertise, HMS and CleanKore are setting a new standard for sustainable textile production, offering solutions that benefit both the environment and the industry. Their technologies align with the growing demand for eco-friendly practices across the global textile supply chain, making this partnership a pivotal step toward a cleaner future.
