ISKO
THE WORLD’S LEADING INGREDIENT BRAND IN QUALITY DENIM MANUFACTURING.
Sustainability is inherent in ISKO™ DNA. ISKO Reform™ technology eliminates the need to frequently wash the jeans for shape retention reducing water and chemical detergant consumption during home laundry. This yarn process means garment makers can do without chemical softeners during production and so reduces chemical consumption. ISKO™’s, brand new concept, ISKO Cottonized™, is entirely made without the use of any cotton. Considered by many as the future for environmental sustainability. Save water, wear ISKO™. Saving water and energy is part of our daily process: A filtration and treatment plant cleans the water used in the manufacturing process, recycling it for other industrial uses. New finishing technologies minimize water consumption, saving 280,000 tons in 2016. Automation systems installed in the weaving halls saved over 1,4 milllions of kwh of energy annually and reduced carbon emissions emissions by 900 tons per year.
