It's more eco-friendly Olyna or the cotton? There is no story.
An independent study carried out by the University of Barcelona has demonstrated, data in hand, an aspect already evident to all insiders. The production process of Essegomma yarns, of which Olyna is a part, is much greener than the production process of cotton yarns. In particular, the study compares the production of 1000 meters of fabric with a balance of the resources consumed and the waste generated.
From the graph it is evident how the Olyna system beats the cotton (CO) system on all the parameters considered:
- Less water: Olyna consumes only 2% of the water used by the CO system
- Less electricity: Olyna consumes 66% of the electricity used by the CO system
- Less natural gas: Olyna consumes 23% of the natural gas used by the CO system
- Less reagents: Olyna consumes only 5% of the reagents used by the CO system
- Less raw materials: Olyna uses 65% of the raw materials employed by the CO system
- Less waste: Olyna produces 62% of the waste produced by the CO system
In this second graphic we have a further comparison between the two systems with respect to different sustainability parameters. In 8 out of 11 parameters, the Olyna system is significantly greener.
