For its latest innovation to streamline the production of denim, Jeanologia turned to industries where humans and robots produce in the same work space for inspiration.
Taking a page out of the automotive sector’s playbook, the technology company presented Handman, a finishing system that is equipped with two robots and eight lasers. The systems require two people to load jeans onto hangers, or “collaborate” with the robots, ultimately leading to 10,000 finished jeans in 24 hours with zero waste.
Jeanologia CEO Enrique Silla described Handman as the “future of our industry,” adding that only with automation is it possible to have clean and scalable manufacturing with reduced costs, greater agility and a better production look. The technology is already a reality and is being used in three manufacturing facilities in the U.S. and Tunisia, producing 5 million jeans a year.

The Lycra Company is launching Coolmax and Thermolite EcoMade fibers made from 100% textile waste as the result of a strategic collaboration with Itochu Corporation, a Japanese-headquartered general trading company with strength in consumer-related sectors, including the textile business.
The new offerings pair the brand equity and performance attributes of these leading cooling and warming brands with new sustainable benefits.
“We are pleased to announce our alliance with Itochu in helping to address textile waste, which represents a substantial sustainability challenge as the equivalent of one garbage truck of textiles is sent to landfills or incinerated every second,” said Julien Born, chief commercial officer for The Lycra Company. “This collaboration exemplifies the synergistic approach we have to develop products and
