Crystal Denim is ramping up its sustainable practices in Vietnam. The division has established a dedicated 3D team in the country to enhance virtual sampling within the factory, reduce lead times and actively minimise sample wastage.
The team aims to improve virtual development capability by 50% in 2023. Moreover, the denim factory extensively uses laser technology, waterless enzymes, green chemistry, front-loading, and E-flow washing machines to reduce chemical usage and implement low water ratio eco-washing during the laundry process.
In recent collaborations with Advance Denim and Prosperity Textile, Crystal Denim has paved the way for enhanced vertical development in Vietnam. The new fabric innovation consists of nine different fabrics, resulting in over 20 products.
As a testament to fashion circularity, the collection developed in partnership with Advance Denim is said to be made from 100% recycled materials, including recycled pre-consumer cotton, recycled spandex, and recycled polyester and is described as a significant step towards achieving 100% recycling.
