Sustainability Has Become an Ethical Mindset at Officina+39
Inspired by artisanal tradition in Italy, Officina+39 is an innovative chemical company based in Bella, Italy. It is the result of 30 years of experience in research and chemical application in the textile sector. Officina+39 focuses on the development and implementation of new and sustainable ideas for the denim industry and environmentally friendly dyeing processes.
Officina means workshop in Italian, but it also stands for passion, innovation, sustainable practices, transparency and social responsibility. Looking to the future, the company combines tradition with modern products and technologies. Their latest process developments will be presented on the 3rd to the 5th of September at KEYHOUSE.
TRUSTAINABLE™: Respect and commitment become an ethical mindset. In production control, Officina+39 ensures the use of less hazardous chemicals, minimizing the impact of surrounding environments, recycling waste, reducing power usage and water conservation. Officina+39 sees one of the greatest challenges in creating transparency. That’s what TRUSTAINABLE ™ stands for.
NEBUDYE: WATER-FREE Vintage Colouring
NEBUDYE is an innovative process used in combination with selected dyes to create original vintage colouring. This makes NEBUDYE one of the world’s first waterless dyeing processes with the nebulization systems. So far, only a non-uniform appearance was possible with the fogging systems (comparable to the cold pigmentation CPD). NEBUDYE opens up new possibilities in textile dyeing technology. NEBUDYE guarantees a perfect penetration into the garments and ensures a uniform vintage style.
SMART BLEACH: Water-saving bleaching technology
SMART BLEACH is an innovative bleaching technology for Nebulization systems. This innovative technology was specially developed to replace the traditional chlorine (or potassium permanganate) used in denim bleaching in washing machines. By using SMART BLEACH with misting systems, it is possible to bleach indigo denim and black denim to reduce water consumption by 90%.
SMART BLEACH can be used in combination with NOVASTONE NEBU, a new enzyme certified by Novozymes DeniSafe®, which ensures the safe use of enzymes in new low-pressure washing machines with mist technology. SMART BLEACH can also be done with a new biodegradable REDUCER KM ECO neutralizer.
You’re invited to attend MUNICH FABRIC START, where more than 1000 suppliers will present more than 1800 collections for Fabrics and Additionals for Autumn.Winter 20/21.

The Blue Tape by JCBM
Predicting upcoming trends is all about context, society and art’s observation and analysis. As young talents are recently drawing their inspiration from the 80’s, Bluezone has decided to follow this specific path and offer to its visitors 80’s dedicated cool gifts. THE BLUE TAPE is 45 minutes of 80’s inspired Electro, exclusively composed by JCBM for Bluezone and recorded on a real tape, just like in the good old days. Julien C.B.M Berland is a French multi-instrumentalist record producer, specialized in arrangement, composition and music production. Remotely from the vibrant Lisbon scene he accompanies artists with his palette of electronic instruments to develop their sound as well as crafting soundscapes to an array of bespoke needs. “Future Thread”, “Plastic Ocean”, “Cyan Fire”… his tracks’ message is all about Denim & Sustainability.
THE BLUE TAPE by JCBM is also available to download at www.jcbmproducer.com and www.BluezoneMunich.com.

Soorty: Innovative and Sustainable
Soorty, as a pioneer in technological advances, resource-saving processes as well as state of the art production methods and denim innovations, presents a range of new technological developments for the new Autumn.Winter 20/21 season. The Pakistani denim manufacturer has already received the HighTex Award, the innovation prize at MUNICH FABRIC START, for their overall strategic, responsible and sustainable corporate policy.
One of the key topics at Soorty is FIX-D, one of the world’s first waterless textile dyeing technologies. FIX-D was developed at the NASDA Innovation Lab and expanded with Soorty Denim Mill & Soorty Garment Factories. FIX-D ensures a sustainable and environmentally friendly finishing process due to extremely fast dyeing solutions.
In addition, Soorty offers a range of timeless classics with authentic laser-based vintage washes.
Also in a vintage look are rustic denim types as ‘Neo Pioneers‘ with classic twill weave in various winter white colours, from clear white to elegant ecru.
In a new collaboration with Lola Poelio, the denim specialist launch the collection Lola x Roxy for Soorty, with a new approach to the recycling of textile remnants. Playful, colourful and in a young look. The capsule collection is made only from resourced materials, wastage fabrics and rejected samples as well as other resourced materials.
The focus for Autumn.Winter 20/21 is also on recycling. As the owner of a state-of-the-art recycling facility, Soorty increasingly also uses leftover industrial waste within its product range. The recycled denim fabrics from Soorty have different blending ratios that can range from 5% to 25%, and in individual cases far more. This results in fabrics with various material combinations, weight classes and elasticity levels that meet the target groups’ specific demands in terms of look and feel of the new collection.

New Entry at BLUEZONE: Metal Trim Specialist Dorlet!
We are happy to announce that Dorlet, one of the leading European additional suppliers with a strong focus on metal and leather goods, will be complementing the BLUEZONE trims portfolio in September.
Founded in Paris in 1928, the family run business has a rich industrial heritage and a unique know-how passed down from generation to generation.
Initially specialising in the manufacturing and sale of hats and millinery supplies, Dorlet changed to selling lining materials for clothing in 1946, and then changed in a roundabout way 1958 to manufacturing fabric bags and waistbands, and finally in 1967 to sewing threads.
Since the 1980’s, Dorlet has been shifting their focus to devising, designing, developing, manufacturing, creating and selling metal products for ready-to-wear, fashion, sportswear, denim, workwear, shoes and leather goods. In addition, the product range is rounded off by nylon, wood and cotton accessories.
Brass, copper, alloy, iron and stainless steel provide the raw materials for Dorlet’s creations, with the option to tailor-make and personalized products: CAD design with customer logo, colouring and production of a 3D resin prototype are the beginning stages, followed by producing a mold as soon as the shape, material and functionality of the product have been approved.
Carried out in close cooperation with the customer, Dorlet’s design process provides a great freedom in low-cost operations and tests to respond to its customers’ stylistic ideas as well as to their technical and environmental constraints.
Metal trims are certified Oko-tex Standard 100 and complied with REACH regulation.
Dorlet operates out of three continents, Europa, Africa and Asia, close to major textile and leather good production sites, thus being able to provide logistical and technical support. Real-time management, automated stock maintenance (SAP) and 3D prototyping within 48 hours carried out in France are certainly further USPs to be mentioned.
During our next edition of BLUEZONE, Dorlet will be showcasing their latest collection and novelties in Munich. Looking forward to welcome this promissing new entry to the BLUEZONE!
