Italian brand Candiani offers Re-Gen denim

Italy-based denim mill Candiani has produced Re-Gen Denim. This is a super-selvedge fabric with Tencel Refibra Lyocell that leverages sustainable technologies for a minimized environmental impact.

Re-Gen Denim contains 50 per cent recycled fibers and 50 per cent Tencel Refibra Lyocell, made from post-industrial cotton scraps left over from wood and cutting operations. Refibra Lyocell fibers minimize the need to extract additional raw materials from nature, fostering a more circular economy for textiles and apparel. Yarns woven into Re-Gen Denim are created with regenerated materials instead of virgin cotton.

The fabric leverages Indigo Juice, a dyeing technology designed to conserve water. Indigo Juice maintains a superficial level of indigo on yarn during the denim dyeing process, enabling Re-Gen Denim to work for easy fade, vintage-inspired jeans.

While laundering, Re-Gen Denim requires less chemicals, energy and water to wash down the indigo. Indigo juice allows Candiani to save 15 per cent of energy and 15 per cent of water in the denim dyeing process. To reduce its environmental footprint, Candiani also uses Kitotex, a dyeing technology. Kitotex uses 70 per cent less chemicals, 50 per cent less water and 30 per cent less energy, since it promotes a more sustainable denim dyeing and finishing process by replacing pollutants and other harmful substances.
