Sustainable denim, without compromising on finish
Sustainability claims are easy; reproducible eco washes are hard. At Timber Forge Co. (Xintang Workshop, Guangzhou, est. 2005), ozone and laser washing are not pilot projects — they’re production-standard capabilities on a floor that ships 200,000+ pieces monthly. If your brand needs sustainable denim manufacturing with the distressed looks customers actually buy, we deliver both.
How our eco washing works
- Ozone washing — ozone gas replaces chlorine and reduces water use dramatically vs traditional stone washing, while producing clean, bright fades
- Laser finishing — digital whiskering, fraying and fading: precise, repeatable, chemical-free, and faster than manual hand-sanding
- Eco indigo & reduced-water dyeing — fabric programs that cut water and chemical load upstream
- Hand-finishing where it matters — heritage whisker and fade work by hand for premium depth that machines alone can’t match

What is ozone denim washing?
Ozone gas fades and ages denim without chlorine, cutting water and chemical use vs traditional stone washing while producing clean, bright finishes.
Is laser denim finishing eco-friendly?
Yes — laser creates whiskers, frays and fades digitally without chemicals, with precise repeatability batch after batch.
Does eco washing cost more?
Ozone and laser are now competitive with traditional stone washing — the savings in water, chemicals and labor offset the technology investment.
Can I combine eco washing with hand-finishing?
Yes — we layer ozone/laser base washes with hand whiskering and sanding for premium depth.
Can you document sustainability for my customers?
Yes — wash-lab video evidence and process documentation are available to support your brand claims.
