Rudolf Duraner Provides Auxiliary Products for Companies

Products from Rudolf Duraner that Will Provide Advantage to Companies in the Green Deal Rudolf Duraner Process Chemicals Specialist Salih Gezek made a presentation at the 14th International EKOTEKS Symposium on "Sustainability in a Digitalized Textile World Towards 2030". He informed the audience on Rudolf Duraner's innovations to provide advantages to companies in the textile sector in the Green Deal Initiative. The 14th International EKOTEKS Symposium "Sustainability in the Digitalized Textile World Towards 2030", organized by the Textile and Ecological Test Research and Development Center (EKOTEKS) and İstanbul Apparel Exporter's Association (İHKİB), was held at the Istanbul Foreign Trade Centre. The main topic of the symposium was the European Green Deal and its short and long-term effects on the textile industry. At the symposium, Gezek introduced the "Cost and Carbon Footprint Calculation Program" along with Rudolf Duraner's special process applications.  

It is Possible to Reduce Process Costs and the Carbon Footprint at the Same Time

Gezek stated that due to innovative chemistry and processes, it is possible to achieve similar results of traditional processes while reducing process cost and carbon footprint. Through the "Cost and Carbon Footprint Calculation Program" it is possible to calculate process costs and carbon emissions within 5 minutes. The program, at the service of customers, will help the industry to calculate improvements on total process cost and carbon footprint. At the same time, it will enable dyehouses to clearly identify the hot spots to be improved and to focus their efforts on the right areas. Since the program allows many data entries, no matter how different the energy source and production lines are, it is possible to make accurate calculations for each single process and for specific manufacturers. Explaining the innovative process applications with case studies, Salih Gezek explained their innovative processes in 2 different manufacturers. The first case is a manufacturer washing 150 tons of Disperse-printed PES fabric. Last month, the customer applied the process and decreased its carbon emission by up to 55%, resulting in 57.6 tons less carbon emission and saving 4,800 tons of water. The second case is another customer: a dyehouse producing 100 tons of PES-Elastane fabric. This customer as well applied the process and decreased its carbon emission by 58%, resulting in 36.1 tons less carbon emission and saving 3,000 tons of water in one single month. Gezek also informed the audience about the new product line of Rudolf Duraner. He mentioned that "Our innovative bio-based products, produced from recycled raw materials, are ready to be used in dyehouses. One is the BIO-LOGIC (based on 100% renewable plant extracts and refined cereal grain remains) and the other one is CYCLELOGIC (chemistry from PET plastic waste). Our target is to compose half of our product range from these renewable raw materials until 2030. We believe our BIO-LOGIC range & CYCLE-LOGIC range will support the textile industry to reach the targets in the Green Deal.
