Sustainable denim The main highlights of the event are:
No Stone Technology: NoStone®+ is the newly
technologies redesigned denim-washing system developed
by Tonello in collaboration with Levi Strauss &
Co. It is designed to overcome the economic,
mechanical, and environmental limitations of the
stone-washing process.
Three-day training sessions at NTU Core Technology: Core is a unique technology
capable of creating uniform or contrasting
effects that go beyond fleeting fashions to bring
out the full potential of the garment. The process
is rapid, wholly automatic, and programmable. It

ECOFREE 2: The ECOfree 2 system allows you to
treat your garments with ozone both in water and
in the air. Thanks to adopting cold plasma
generators, we can obtain higher concentrations
of ozone with lower oxygen and electrical energy
consumption than traditional systems. This is an
ecological process: lower consumption of
electricity and water; shorter processing times;
purification costs reduced to a minimum;
absolute safety for the operator and for the final
consumer: these are, very briefly, the benefits of
the new ECOfree 2.
ALL-IN-ONE SYSTEM: A single machine for
performing all the finishing operations on the
