They lead the transformation of the textile industry through the development of disruptive technologies such as laser technology, ozone, e-Flow, SmartBox and H2Zero, which are capable of improving productivity, reducing water and energy consumption and eliminating waste and emissions. harmful, guaranteeing ZERO contamination.

The methodology proposed by Jeanologia relies on an holistic vision of the textile product, from the fabric to the finish. It also promotes new operational models, focused on production on demand, eco-efficiency, creativity and digitalization. This eco-sustainable operating model of advanced digital manufacturing integrate Jeanologia's hardware and software, achieving five fundamental benefits for the textile industry: they are eco-efficient, cost neutral, scalable, agile and digital; and connects designers, producers and consumers. The production will be sustainable and efficient, reducing the operational cost, the environmental impact and guaranteeing zero waste.

Having a holistic vision of sustainable production implies starting with the fabric, reducing its environmental impact in its manufacturing process and making a precise selection to achieve the perfect combination between fabric and finish. Besides, the quality policy of jeanologia includes:

It is the first eco-efficient plant that guarantees 85% savings in water, as well as zero discharges and zero pollution. The implementation of Jeanologia technologies: laser, G2 ozone, e-Flow, SmartBox and H2Zero, allow the elimination of traditional polluting processes such as potassium permanganate, pumice stone, harmful substances and discharges from the textile finishing industry, as well as the damaging processes of manual sanding and grinding.

At Jeanología they work for practically all jean brands (Levi's, Inditex, Gap, Mango, etc). Once the technology is developed, it is offered to manufacturers in India, Bangladesh, Morocco, Mexico, those faraway places with less environmental and labor regulation where the garments we wear are produced. “In some way we are like an intermediary between the brands and the manufacturers”, explains Silla. They are present in 60 countries and treat 35% of the jeans produced on the planet.

Jeanologia has created an own impact measurement system, open source. EIM, the environmental impact measurement software, is a unique and powerful platform developed to monitor the environmental impact of garment finishing processes in an efficient and economically viable way. It is a self-accreditation tool designed to improve the ecological footprint of jean finishes in their manufacturing stage. EIM software is specific to the garment finishing industry. It has been created to provide all laundries and garment finishers around the world, regardless of whether they are Jeanologia customers, with an instrument that helps them build more sustainable processes.

What motivation do manufacturers have to adopt more ethical and sustainable technologies? “Many times, it is the brands themselves that, under pressure from buyers in Europe and the United States, demand a certain way of producing, other times improvements are made because producing more efficiently reduces costs. The mindset is changing." (Enrique Silla, founder) Concerned about the impact of the textile sector, the United Nations launched its Alliance for Sustainable Fashion in 2019, which seeks to promote good social and environmental practices in the industry. According to the organization, the average consumer buys 60% more clothes than 15 years ago and each one is now used for half the time.
