For instance, clients could have a single quality greige and print nearly infinite combination of aesthetics. By doing so, they can drastically improve the speed to market with much lower SKUs.<\/p>\n<p>Many denim brands today maintain extensive material libraries, consisting of well over 500 different types of fabric, solely for the purpose of achieving a desired look. However, with Cooltrans, the aesthetic can be completely independent of the fabric composition. By calibrating the process to a specific fabric base, brands can achieve a wide range of aesthetics on a single twill type, resulting in tremendous costs savings.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, addressing the environmental impact of indigo dye is a shared concern within the industry . Cooltrans is seen as a promising solution to reduce the toxicity associated with indigo dye as there is no indigo involved in the entire process, which is an additional key point that many brand houses view it favourably.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<section id=\"spacer-block_a4c4959004a1c211f6fdcb2e61da6ccc\" class='h-5 lg:h-10 '
