Candiani Denim aims to make sustainability in the fashion industry a standard
Alberto Candiani is one of the leading figures trying to make production and consumption more conscious. He believes that sustainability in fashion should be the industry standard rather than a characteristic of the most virtuous companies.
Candiani Denim’s sustainability focus is now on developing circular business models with a positive environmental impact and improving traceability and transparency in the industry.
Innovations create sustainable jeans
There are many sustainable innovations patented by Candiani Denim in recent years to create sustainable jeans fabrics, such as Kitotex® and COREVA™.
Kitotex®
Kitotex® is based on chitosan, a biodegradable polymer derived from renewable sources, such as fungi. It allows for the replacement of hazardous chemicals and other pollutants in dyeing and finishing processes. Chitosan is also used to purify the final discharged water, and its antibacterial properties benefit consumers’ health.
COREVA™ stretch technology
COREVA™ stretch technology is the first plastic-free and compostable stretch denim worldwide. We use stretch yarn made from natural rubber and wrap it with cotton to create a product that contains no conventional synthetic elastic fibers, without compromising the fabric’s quality, elasticity, or durability.
COREVA™ products are perfectly circular: they come from nature and, at the end of their life, can fertilize the raw materials used to create new garments.
In 2021, Candiani Denim produced 20 million meters of denim, yielding 15 million pieces of clothing. COREVA™ accounted for 5% of this production.
