Advanced Water Treatment

Reverse Osmosis
Water Purification

Our state-of-the-art Reverse Osmosis (RO) system is central to achieving 90% water recycling. The RO plant purifies treated wastewater to near-drinking quality, enabling its reuse in production processes and significantly reducing freshwater consumption.

Multi-Stage Filtration

Pre-treatment, RO membranes, and post-treatment for maximum purity

TDS Reduction

Removes 95-99% of dissolved solids from wastewater

Advanced Water Recovery

RO reject is further treated, ensuring minimal wastewater from facility

FAQ

Sustainability questions

How does Bluback Denim reach 1 to 5 litres of water per garment?

Ozone bleaching replaces chlorine-based processes, nebulisation applies chemistry as a micro-droplet spray, laser finishing creates abrasion effects without water or stones, and low liquor ratio washing cuts the water in every cycle.

What happens to the water after washing?

Wastewater goes through multi-stage filtration, reverse osmosis and post-treatment that removes 95 to 99% of dissolved solids, so 90% of it is reused in production under a zero liquid discharge system.

How much are chemicals reduced?

Ozone-based bleaching and nebulisation reduce chemical usage by about 60% compared with traditional wet processing.

What ESG data can brands receive?

Documented water consumption per garment, water recycling rates, chemical reduction, energy use and RFID-based traceability, plus support for third-party audits and sustainability reporting.
