ELIMINATING WASTE AND TOXIC CHEMICALS FROM SMART TEXTILE MANUFACTURING
DELIVERING INNOVATION
Eliminating
Solution Waste
Water waste is endemic in chemistry and in smart fabric manufacturing. On average, one pair of jeans consumes 1,800 gallons of fresh water to produce. This polluted water often then becomes chemical runoff contaminating waterways including freshwater sources.
Soliyarn's vaporized smart coating process drastically minimizes water usage and eliminates the use of toxic, carcinogenic chemicals. . Conventional smart textile manufacturing often consumes much more water waste and is less effective at completely coating fabrics
All of the chemicals that go into Soliyarn textile coatings are extracted form biological sources and can be degraded by soil bacteria.
After the lifecycle of a vapor coated garment is complete, no special disposal processes have to be taken into consideration. This is unlike conventional smart fabrics that are often embedded with metals and non biodegradable elements.
When disposed of in a landfill, biodegradable polymers in fact increase the longevity of that landfill by acting as composting agents and decreasing overall garbage volume. Additionally, biodegradable polymers are able to return to and enrich soil ensuring that a habitat flourishes. Soliyarn's commitment to clean chemistry contributes to reducing toxic waste that enters into our environment and maintaining a healthy environmental lifecycle.

It is estimated that 20% of industrial water waste is derived from textile manufacturing
Health & Safety
Safety is one of the highest priorities within NEX. It is imperative that everyone follows the policies and guidelines to ensure their own safety and the safety of others around them.
