“What denim supply-chain challenge is most pressing and preventing the industry from operating efficiently?”. With this question California Apparel News, a magazine of reference in the world of apparel, addresses some professionals of the denim industry.
“It is important – explains Marco Bruno, Head of ESG Compliance & Health and Safety of Oerlikon Luxury – that accessories are integrated into a final product that meets sustainability standards that take into account the origin of the materials and the impact of the processes as well as the possibility to reutilize the whole post-consumer garment or parts of it”.
In particular, Bruno, talking about the iconic line of jeans buttons branded Cobrax, quotes as virtuous examples the screw buttons, easily removable from garments, and the articles entirely made of stainless steel, which lend themselves to being treated with Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD), a process allowing to significantly reduce the impacts on the environment.
