Jeanologia
Spanish technology company Jeanologia, in collaboration with its partners, has introduced Life Anhidra, a cutting-edge closed-loop system for treating and reusing textile wastewater. The innovation aims to tackle the staggering 93 billion cubic meters of water consumed by the textile industry annually.
Life Anhidra focuses on the garment finishing phase of textile production. The system recycles 95% of the water used, returning it in ideal conditions for reuse in washing and finishing processes. Additionally, it cuts energy consumption by up to 15%, contributing to both environmental and operational efficiencies.
The technology is an advancement of Jeanologia’s earlier H2Zero prototypes. “Life Anhidra has significantly improved water recovery and recycling, creating an ideal system for brands and their suppliers to manage water efficiently,” said a company spokesperson.
Life Anhidra delivers zero water discharge, zero contamination, and eliminates the need for complex treatments. The system reduces environmental impact while lowering traditional water management costs, offering a competitive and sustainable solution for the textile industry, Jeanologia stated.
Further enhancing its circular economy approach, the project explores reusing fibrous fragments collected during water treatment to create new textile products, demonstrating its commitment to sustainability.
Jeanologia collaborated with AITEX (the Textile Industry Research Association) and Portuguese textile company Pizarro to develop the system. Funded by the European Union’s LIFE program, the project highlights how business partnerships and technology can provide effective solutions to major environmental challenges.
“Life Anhidra marks a significant shift in addressing environmental challenges in a resource-intensive industry. It is an essential step toward sustainable and efficient water management,” said Manuel Pizarro, CEO of Pizarro.
