Challenge 2: Impact of Chemicals: Potassium Permanganate
Spray application of potassium permanganate (KMnO4) is one of the most common local bleaching method accross the world. Most of the local used look on jeans created by local application of potassium permanganate.
Unfortunately, still 90% of bleaching processes are using potassium permanganate which is sprayed on jeans by workers in open spray systems. That means everyday more than 5 tons potassium permanganate are used worldwide.
Even though potassium permanganate is good at giving bleached effects, it is a hazardous chemical that risks human health and environment. Also, it consists of heavy metal componants and it is not biodegradeble. Potassium permanganate belongs to the substances which are dangerous to the environment with high fish toxicity.
In many countries, there are strict regulations about potassium permanganate due to the hazardous consequences it cause. However, potassium permanganate is still a desired product in many countries because it is cheap and services the purpose.
As Kaiser and DyStar, we aim to remove this hazardous chemical out of laundries and replace it with eco-friendly product alternative. Cadira Laundry has several bleaching agents that can be a great alternative for potassium permanganate in right conditions.

Challenge 3: Sludge Formation Caused by Pumice Stone
Pumice Stones had been playing an essential role in garment finishing because of the marble effects that it provides. However, pumice Stones causes many environmental disadvantages and they are another important challenge in the industry that requires to be replaced.
Elliminating pumice Stones from laundries is inevitable because of the disadvantages. The biggest environmental disadvantage is the sludge formation of pumice Stones that laundries leave to the environment. Sadly, every year around 350-400 thousand tons of pumice sludge waste releases to the environment.Mining and transportation are another problems that increases the carbon footprint.
