“For us, enhancing our platform trough the greenofchange® Days means to strengthen the involvement of the entire industry in the sustainable change,” confirms Donald Mulazzani, Marketing and Business Development Director of Garmon Chemicals. “A greenofchange® process constitute a concrete action to help the environment, an important response to the challenges of an industry that aims to be truly sustainable.”

  • With the greenofchange® platform Garmon offers a solid and innovative approach to the problem of sustainability in the fashion industry:To respect the greenofchange® requirements, garments must be treated with certified Garmon chemicals, through a finishing process based on the efficient use of resources. 
  • When the finishing process is compliant with all of the greenofchange® requirements, the brand can distribute the garments with a special hangtag that includes a QR code. Scanning the code, it will be possible to know the exact amount of the natural resources saved during the finishing of the garment, together with other information about the safety for the environment, workers and final consumers.
