Description
Island Denim is a company that was founded in the Adana Industrial Zone in southern
Turkey in 2009. The company produces fabric by dyeing indigo in the form of a bobbin and
using these dyed threads to weave and knit fabric, which is a unique process that differs
from traditional indigo dyeing methods.
This process was developed as the result of approximately 7 years of research and
development and involves modifications to traditional bobbin dyeing machines and a
proprietary process.
The aim of this process is to provide unlimited freedom to knit and weave fabric
manufacturers, by allowing them to produce any desired amount of fabric (in meters or
yards), using any desired blend of cellulosic fibers (such as cotton, linen, tencel, viscose,
hemp, etc.), and any desired yarn thickness (from 1 Ne to 200 Ne), without being limited by
minimum production quantities.
This process can also be used to dye CoreSpun and CoreYarn threads.
In its early years, Island Denim primarily focused on selling indigo-dyed
threads to meet the needs of knit and weave fabric manufacturers.
However, in later years, the company developed the Delavé indigo
dyeing process, which allows for the production of 120 different Delavé
and Sulfur colors in addition to indigo, and which have the same washing
properties as indigo.
Island Denim has a capacity to produce 100,000 kg of dyed threads per
month, using these dyeing methods.
Today, Island Denim produces a range of garment-washed, distressed,
vintage-looking fabrics in a variety of weights (from 40 gr/m2 to 750
gr/m2) and 120 different colors, including indigo, Delavé, and Sulfur, at
its own weaving and circular knitting fabric production facilities.
On average, Island Denim produces 200,000 meters of weaving fabric
(including patterns such as check, striped, armure, jacquard, selvedge,
etc.), 30,000 kg of circular knit fabric (including types such as pique,
jersey, etc.) each month.
In addition to producing these fabrics, Island Denim has also started to
produce premium apparel and offer garment washing services, using
these fabrics (especially shirts and t-shirts).
In June 2023, the company will complete a new investment that will
allow it to meet approximately 50% of its electricity needs for
production using solar energy panels.
Island Denim is also planning to recover and reuse all wastewater
generated in the indigo dyeing process, as part of a project called "Blue
Sustain".
The Blue Sustain project involves collecting the waste dye
liquid from the dyeing process in tanks, performing
necessary measurements and analysis on the collected
liquid, and adding any necessary dye and chemical additives
to make it reusable for dyeing. According to calculations,
this process will result in a savings of approximately 50%
water, 20% dye, and 30% chemicals.
