Denmark based Novozymes, a world leader in biological solutions for wet processing of textiles, launched “BioPrep Fusion – Sustainable Cotton Knit Pre-treatment Process” in Bangladesh recently.
“Bangladesh is a country of great vision and abilities. The (textile) industry must be congratulated for having 7 out of world’s top 10 state-of-the-art green factories. Although the RMG sector still faces serious challenges in terms of sustainability, it is encouraging to see Danish companies like Novozymes bring innovative and sustainable solutions to the industry in Bangladesh,” stated Ambassador of Denmark to Bangladesh Winnie Estrup Petersen at the launch event at Dhaka’s Edge Gallery.
It may be mentioned here that Novozymes A/S is a global biotechnology company headquartered in Bagsværd outside of Copenhagen, Denmark. The company’s focus is research, development and production of industrial enzymes, microorganisms, and biopharmaceutical ingredients.
Novozymes’ BioPrep Fusion Concept allows textile mills handling knit processing to increase productivity, while saving costs with reliable enzymatic scouring. Moreover, it also reduces the producer’s environmental footprint by saving 67% water, 50% energy, and 50% time required for knit pre-treatment processing.
“Novozymes is proud to contribute to sustainable production in Bangladesh. The innovation enables sustainable and increased production, which is highly necessary for the Bangladesh garment industry to reach its US$ 50 billion export target by 2021,” reportedly maintained Business Unit Director of Technical Industries EMA – AP at Novozymes A/S Ethel Fanny Laursen.
