CleanKore’s dyeing process is claimed to remove the need for Potassium Permanganate (PP) and cuts down on water, chemical, and energy consumption across the supply chain. This method also manages dye penetration and maintains fabric performance.

HMS CEO and founder Beyza Baykan said: “This collaboration brings two innovation engines together. 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.”

HMS contributes a composite washing stones designed to replace both pumice stones and conventional washing chemicals, thereby eliminating sludge production, reducing water use, and supporting consistent results in finished textiles.

The combined technologies will enable mills and laundries to reduce environmental impact from the dyeing stage through to garment washing.
