Hei wāhanga o tana haumitanga tonu ki te auahatanga tauwhiro, ka whakaora a Advance Denim i te mahi hangai taiao ki tana whare hanga hou a Advance Sico i Nha Trang, Vietnam.
Ka oti te hanga i te tau 2020, ka whakatutukihia e te wheketere ngā hiahia whakaputa e tipu haere ana o te kaihanga tenimu Haina i roto i ngā mākete hou, ā, ka āwhina i a ia ki te whakatutuki i ngā hiahia o ētahi atu kiritaki.
Ko te whāinga matua o Advance Sico he rite tonu ki te pokapū whakaputa tuatahi a te kamupene i Shunde, Haina. Kāore i te hiahia noa te kaihanga ki te tuku i ngā momo tenimu auaha rawa atu o Vietnam ki ana kaihoko, engari i whakaatahia hoki ngā auahatanga pumau kua waiho hei tūāpapa mō te wheketere Shunde.
I muri i te hanganga o te wheketere o Vietnam, ka ruku hohonu te kaiwhakahaere matua o Advance Denim, a Amy Wang, ki roto i te tukanga hanga tenimu katoa kia kite ai me pēhea e taea ai e te kaihanga te auaha ake mā roto i ngā tukanga pumau ake, ā, he pai ake hoki mō te taiao. Nā tēnei arotahi ki te pumau ake ka puta ngā auahatanga pēnei i te tae Big Box, e penapena ana i te 95% o te wai e whakamahia ana i roto i te tae tuku iho ina whakamahia te indigo wai tuku iho.
I te otinga, ko Advance Sico te wheketere tuatahi i Vietnam ki te whakamahi i te indigo kore-aniline a Archroma, e whakaputa ana i te tae indigo ma, haumaru hoki, me te kore e whakamahi i ngā matū kino e puta ai te mate pukupuku.
Kātahi ka tāpirihia e Advance Denim te BioBlue indigo ki āna tae i Vietnam, ka hangaia he indigo ma, kāore e whakaputa i ngā para paitini e kino ana ki te taiao. Ka hangaia hoki e BioBlue indigo he taiao mahi haumaru ake mā te whakakore i te matū sodium hydrosulfite e mura ana, e kore e pumau i te wāhi mahi.
E ai ki te ingoa, he nui te tote i roto i te konutai dithionite, he mea tino uaua ki te tango mai i te wai para. He nui te whanariki o te paura, ā, ka taea hoki te kohikohi ki roto i te wai para, ka tukuna he hau kino. Ehara i te mea he kino noa te konutai dithionite ki te taiao, engari he rauemi tino kore pumau, mura hoki, he tino morearea ki te kawe.
Kei te tāone hararei o Nha Trang i Vietnam a Advance Sico, he wāhi tūruhi o te ao e mōhiotia ana mō ōna takutai moana me te ruku wai. I te wā e whakahaere ana i te wheketere Advance Sico i reira, e kite ana ngā kaihanga i te kawenga ki te tiaki i te taiao tūturu, me te noho hei wheketere tino ma, tino pumau hoki.
I runga i tēnei wairua, i tāutahia e Advance Denim tētahi pūnaha horoi wai osmosis whakamuri auaha i hangaia hei tango pai i ngā toenga indigo me ngā poke kino. Ka puta he wai e tata ana ki te 50% te ma atu i ngā paerewa tono hāora matū (COD) ā-motu. Mā tēnei hoki ka taea e te whare te hangarua tata ki te 40 ōrau o te wai e whakamahia ana i roto i tana tukanga hanga.
E mōhio ana ngā kaihanga tenimu katoa, ehara i te mahi toi anake te mea e akiaki ana i te oranga tonutanga, engari ko ngā rauemi mata tonu. Ka whakamahia e te wheketere Advance Sico ngā rauemi oranga tonutanga, tae atu ki te rinena pai me te miro hangarua pai mai i te kohinga oranga tonutanga Greenlet a te kamupene i Vietnam.
"Ka mahi tahi hoki mātou me ngā kaihanga auaha o te ao mō te oranga tonutanga pēnei i a Lenzing ki te whakauru i ā rātou momo muka waro porowhita me te kore waro ki roto i te nuinga o ā mātou momo kāhua," te kī a Wang. "E whakahīhī ana mātou ki te mahi tahi me ētahi o ngā kaihanga auaha tino oranga tonutanga o te ao, engari e whakapono ana mātou he mea nui kia whai tiwhikete hei tautoko i ā mātou kereme. He mea tino nui ēnei tiwhikete ki tā mātou turanga kiritaki, nā te mea kei te whakapau kaha a Advance Sico kia noho ko te kaihanga tenimu tino oranga tonutanga i Vietnam."
Kua whai tiwhikete a Advance Sico ki te Paerewa Ihirangi Ora (OCS), te Paerewa Hangarua Ao (GRS), te Paerewa Kereme Hangarua (RCS) me te Paerewa Kakahu Ora Ao (GOTS).
Ka haere tonu ngā pātai a Advance Denim mō ngā tikanga tawhito o te hanga tenimu, ā, ka auaha tonu i ngā huarahi hou mō te hanga toitū.
"E whakahīhī ana mātou ki te Big Box denim me te BioBlue indigo me te āhua o te hanga a ēnei auahatanga i tētahi tukanga tae indigo ma, haumaru ake, me te pumau ake, me te kore e whakararu i te tae me te horoi o te indigo tuku iho," te kī a Wang. "E harikoa ana mātou ki te kawe mai i ēnei auahatanga pumau ki Advance Sico i Vietnam kia tata atu ai ki tō mātou turanga kiritaki e whānui haere ana i te rohe, kia pai ake ai te whakatutuki i ngā hiahia o ō mātou kiritaki o te ao."
