This collaboration aims to address the environmental impact of traditional textile manufacturing, which generates trillions of gallons of wastewater each year.
GTT, known for its waterless and PFAS-free EMPEL™ textile finishing platform, has teamed up with Golden Long John, a major textile supplier to the global footwear industry.
