Sustainability is in our DNA, it is an inherent part of ADVANCE DENIM.We value the coexistence of human and environment and will continue to try everything we can to preserve and protect the environment that we rely on.
We have set the aggressive strategic plan of using over 90% of Green fibers in our product line by 2023.
Advance was the first denim mill in China to adopt organic fiber on a large scale. Since then, we never look back and increase the use of sustainable fibers year after year.
This focus on sustainability resulted in Advance Denim being the first denim mill in China obtain GOTS certification.
40 % of cotton used is sustainably sourced in 2019
We used over 1,100 tons of Tencel in 2018
We care for the environment and advocate the use of sustainable fibers in our production, like organic cotton, hemp, recycled cotton, recycled polyester, regenerated fibers and many more……
Advance Denim is actively committed to minimize the environmental impact of each yard of denim we produce.
We are the first denim mill to use Archroma Aniline-Free Indigo for our denim developments in 2018.
We use botanic dyes, made of extracts from raw materials such as flowers, shells, fruits, leaves and so on, which have no any side effects on human and harmless to the environment.
In order to minimize our environmental impact, we are looking inward to improve our processes for better sustainable manufacturing solutions and continue our mission to be a green factory,
We believe that sustainability can only be approached in a collective way
2016
We joined the Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC)
2018
Our Higg Index scored 48 with verification from third party. It was 23% higher than global average.
2019
Our Higg Index scored 81 with verification from third party. It was 68% higher than previous year.
2020
We will continue to use the Higg Facility Environmental Module as a performance measurement and follow the guideline of Higg Facility Social and Labour Module.
We have installed our own wastewater treatment plants, which is capable of processing up to 9,000 tons per day.Our COD & Ammonia level are always far below national standards.
Wastewater from finishing process will pass through a membrane bioreactor in our sewage treatment facility. The built-in vibrating membrane system will re-filter the sewage, remove the residual indigo and harmful impurities, convert sewage into clean water.
The clean water will be then recycled back into the finishing range creating a closed loop of recycled water. The indigo dye filtered out will also be recycled.
Advance Denim does not only focus on clean water but water savings throughout our whole process by using latest water saving technologies, next-generation equipment and process improvements. We are not only purchase sustainable inputs but also invest into machines and infrastructure that make our process as sustainable as possible.
We set out to revolutionize the indigo dyeing process by introducing Bigbox Dyeing.Bigbox Dyeing shrinks the amount of dye boxes needed to dye indigo from 8-13 boxes to ONE big box. It saves up to 95% of the water needed.
Advance Denim has invested in a state-of-the-art development center that utilized the latest lasers and ozone equipment. This helps us to best serve our customers and help our customers develop the most sustainable jeans possible right in our mill using our sustainable denim.
We cooperate with international suppliers, universities and standards organizations to develop and set guidelines for chemical use.
We are the first denim mill in China accredited as ZDHC contributor. We establish our own Restricted Substance List (RSL) and all suppliers must comply with the listed requirements.
We provide quality assurance team with training on Oeko-Tex compliant chemicals in regular basis.
