ECOfree, a result of research by Tonello, is a revolutionary ozone washing system that has become the new benchmark for finishing fabrics, for healthier, more beautiful garments. With ECOfree, the ozone is dissolved in water and the indigo is degraded during washing.
ECOfree guarantees reduced consumption of water, energy and chemicals, while giving more pronounced denim effects and better performance than traditional systems, in terms of both the healthiness of the garments and eco-sustainability and worker safety.
The major advantages of ECOfree are eco-friendly bleach for process control and reproducibility; pure indigo look; shorter processing times; lower purification costs; use of less water and energy, and fewer chemicals; ozone generated either from the air or from concentrated oxygen; one-gas generator for two machines, alternating between one and the other; versatility as the machine can also be used for standard uses; and identical results and perfect reproducibility for both sampling and production units.
Luca Soligo, the owner of Everest, a cutting-edge Italian laundry, and Carla Sperotto, of the Ritex laboratory, have tested and certified the ECOfree system.
