Comparative Evaluation of Cellulase Enzyme-Washed Denim Using Sustainable and Conventional Washing Technologies

The textile industry is increasingly focused on adopting innovative solutions to reduce its environmental impact and promote ecological sustainability. This study investigates the effects of enzymatic wash treatments on denim fabric, comparing traditional and eco-friendly equipment. Enzymes such as Enzymatic DM۸۶۳۹B and Enzymatic DM۸۶۴۲ serve as sustainable alternatives to conventional denim finishing methods, enhancing fabric appearance while minimizing ecological harm. Innovative, energy-efficient washing machines designed to reduce water and energy consumption are evaluated alongside traditional methods. The research assesses the effectiveness of enzymatic treatments by analyzing key performance factors, including wash quality, abrasion resistance, colorfastness to saliva, tensile strength, and other critical denim quality indicators. Environmental impacts, such as water and energy usage, as well as chemical waste generation, are examined to determine sustainability. Metrics such as water and carbon footprints are used to evaluate the ecological benefits of each approach. The findings highlight the potential of eco-friendly equipment and enzymatic treatments in denim production, offering a pathway to reduce the environmental footprint of garment finishing. This research supports global efforts to advance sustainable manufacturing practices, reinforcing the textile industry's commitment to environmental responsibility.
