We actively use fabrics woven with indigo-dyed yarns using an eco-dyeing system to protect the natural environment.
The eco-dyeing system is an environmentally friendly dyeing method that reduces the use of cleaning chemicals and CO2
emissions by treating all wastewater from the dyeing process in accordance with The Seto Inland Sea water quality regulations,
introducing a boiler system that reduces the use of heavy oil by 40% compared to conventional methods, and using room-temperature electrolyzed water.
We are working to reduce our environmental impact by installing solar panels, a renewable energy source, and switching our natural gas usage from heavy oil to clean energy. In addition, the sludge produced after wastewater treatment is bio-treated with raw garbage from the households of local residents, thereby composting the sludge and reducing sludge discharge.
