As far back as 1994 Schoeller, the swiss textiles manofacture, launched their first 100% recyclable stretch fabric. Since more than 10 years they have used no PFOS-containg products in their manufacturing. Due to the installation of a special waste water reactor, they were able to have the load of contaminants ten years ago. Modern dyeing machines and a solvent washing machine permitted a further 65% water reduction from 2001 on. By converting to natural gas and recovering energy from exhaust air and waste water, we have considerably reduced the CO2 emissions since 2002 and achieved further energy savings. Within the framework of an expansion project and the installation of modern tencering frames, an exhaust air purification plant and air weaving looms between 2005 and 2007, they have succeeded in increasing production capacity and saving energy.
