Njengenxalenye yotyalo-mali lwayo oluqhubekayo kwimveliso entsha ezinzileyo, i-Advance Denim yenza imveliso enobuhlobo nokusingqongileyo iphile kwiziko layo elitsha lemveliso i-Advance Sico eNha Trang, eVietnam.
Njengoko igqityiwe ngo-2020, esi sityalo siza kubonelela iimfuno ezikhulayo zemveliso yomvelisi wedenim waseTshayina kwiimarike ezintsha, nto leyo eza kusinceda sincede abathengi abaninzi.
Injongo esisiseko ye-Advance Sico ifana neziko lokuqala lemveliso lenkampani eShunde, eTshayina. Umenzi akafunanga nje kuphela ukunika abathengi bakhe izitayile zedenim ezintsha eVietnam, kodwa ukwabonakalisa nezinto ezintsha ezizinzileyo eziye zaba sisiseko sefektri yeShunde.
Emva kokuba umzi-mveliso waseVietnam wakhiwe, umphathi jikelele we-Advance Denim, u-Amy Wang, wangena nzulu kwinkqubo yonke yokwenziwa kweedenim ukuze abone indlela umenzi anokuyiphucula ngayo ngakumbi ngeenkqubo ezizinzileyo nezinobuhlobo nokusingqongileyo. Yile ngqwalasela ekuzinzeni enika indawo izinto ezintsha ezifana nokudaya iBig Box, okonga ukuya kuthi ga kwi-95% yamanzi asetyenziswa ekudayini kwendabuko xa kusetyenziswa i-indigo yolwelo yendabuko.
Emva kokugqitywa, i-Advance Sico yaba sisityalo sokuqala eVietnam ukusebenzisa i-indigo ye-Archroma engena-aniline, evelisa idayi ye-indigo ecocekileyo nekhuselekileyo ngaphandle kokusebenzisa iikhemikhali eziyingozi ezibangela umhlaza.
I-Advance Denim yongeza i-BioBlue indigo kuluhlu lwayo lweedayi eVietnam, idala i-indigo ecocekileyo engavelisi inkunkuma enetyhefu eyingozi kwindalo esingqongileyo. I-BioBlue indigo ikwadala indawo yokusebenza ekhuselekileyo ngokususa i-sodium hydrosulfite yekhemikhali etsha kakhulu nengazinzanga kwindawo yokusebenza.
Njengoko igama lisitsho, i-sodium dithionite inetyuwa eninzi kakhulu, nto leyo edume ngokuba nzima ukuyisusa emanzini amdaka. Le nto igutyiweyo ine-sulfates eninzi kwaye inokuqokelelana emanzini amdaka, ikhuphe iigesi eziyingozi. I-sodium dithionite ayisiyongozi nje kuphela kwindalo esingqongileyo, kodwa yinto engaguqukiyo, etshayo eyingozi kakhulu ukuyithutha.
I-Advance Sico ikwidolophu yaseVietnam eNha Trang, indawo yabakhenkethi bamazwe ngamazwe eyaziwa ngamanxweme ayo kunye nokuntywila emanzini. Xa besebenzisa umzi-mveliso we-Advance Sico apho, abavelisi baziva benoxanduva lokukhusela okusingqongileyo kwendalo nokuba ngumzi-mveliso ococekileyo nozinzileyo.
Ngolu hlobo lomoya, i-Advance Denim ifake inkqubo entsha yokucoca amanzi ye-reverse osmosis eyenzelwe ukususa ngokufanelekileyo i-indigo eseleyo kunye nokungcola okuyingozi. Le nkqubo ivelisa amanzi acocekileyo phantse nge-50% kunemigangatho yesizwe ye-chemical oxygen demand (COD). Ikwavumela le ndawo ukuba isebenzise kwakhona phantse i-40% yamanzi asetyenziswa kwinkqubo yayo yokuvelisa.
Njengoko bonke abavelisi bedenim kufuneka besazi, asikuko nje ubugcisa obuqhuba uzinzo, zizinto ezisetyenziswayo ngokwazo. Umzi-mveliso we-Advance Sico usebenzisa izinto ezihlala ixesha elide, kuquka ilinen ecikizekileyo kunye nomqhaphu ocoliweyo ocoliweyo ovela kwingqokelela yenkampani ezinzileyo yeGreenlet eVietnam.
“Sikwasebenzisana ngokusondeleyo nabasunguli bezinto ezizinzileyo kwihlabathi jikelele abanjengoLenzing ukuze badibanise uluhlu lwabo olubanzi lweefayibha zekhabhoni ezijikelezayo nezingenazo kwiindlela zethu ezininzi,” utshilo uWang. “Siyazingca kungekuphela nje ngokuba kunye nabanye babasunguli bezinto ezizinzileyo kwihlabathi liphela, kodwa sikholelwa ukuba kubalulekile ukuba neziqinisekiso zokuxhasa amabango ethu. Ezi ziqinisekiso zibaluleke kakhulu kubathengi bethu njengoko i-Advance Sico yenza konke okusemandleni ayo Ukuze ibe ngumvelisi we-denim ozinzileyo eVietnam.”
