Episode #4 - Second step: THE ALL-IN-ONE-SYSTEM AND OBLEACH...TOGETHER!

NoStone®, ECOfree 2, UP, Core, and OBleach (the new Tonello ozone process that "bleaches" jeans without using permanganate), generate an almost infinite number of creative solutions. In addition, all wet processes are carried out in a single machine, thus drastically reducing consumption and the waste of resources.

With Metro, the facts are incontrovertible and only the reality, proven by data, count. There is no possibility for manipulation, only constant, reliable, and automatic performance measurement of the entire process. Detailed, analytical, or synthetic data according to necessity, but always objective and accurate in order to keep improving on the path to sustainability, savings and respect for the environment.

“We created this 5 episodes which will give to all the players of our business, real data in the name of practicality, transparency, responsibility.” continues to tell us Alice Tonello “5 videos that introduce you to the protagonists, the stars of an authentic revolution that represents a radical paradigm change as well as our contribution to helping the planet.”
