Decarbonization and Circular Manufacturing

[Decarbonization and Circular Manufacturing]

To our partners (brands and designers),

To reduce the environmental impact of the textile industry, we are taking on two challenges: our “responsibility to transform how we use energy” and our “responsibility to transition to naturally derived materials.”

For over a decade, we have been working to build a “sustainable supply chain.”

 

Initiatives (Energy Saving & Resource Circulation)

2015 : Adopted components to reduce compressed air in looms (approx. 10% reduction in power consumption)

2017 :  Upgraded all high-pressure compressors to inverter models

2018 : Reviewed/optimized operation of compressed air piping and air conditioning equipment

2019 :  Achieved “visualization” of power consumption (air usage) across all looms

2020 : Adopted air usage precision improvement components on all machines (5–10% reduction in power consumption)

2021 :  Introduced sectional warping machines (reduced product loss) / Began introducing the latest energy-saving looms

2022 :  Completed the introduction of 13 state-of-the-art, highly energy-efficient looms

2025 :  Additionally adopted components to further improve air consumption efficiency (8–10% reduction in power consumption)

2026 : [Circular Domain] Began experiments for biodegradable materials and water-saving processes
