The First HMS Clients: Revealed in this HMS Podcast

HMS was quickly recognized by industry leaders, with Everest Lingerie and Candiani Denim among the first clients to adopt this eco-friendly innovation. As awareness of sustainability continues to grow within the fashion industry, the demand for eco-friendly alternatives like HMS has surged, propelling the company to new heights of success.


Porosity and Abrasion

HMS delivers consistent abrasions throughout its usage, thanks to its porous structure both inside and outside.


Yavuz Baykan: The Father of HMS

HMS was invented by Yavuz Baykan, a visionary whose journey is an ensemble of sustainability and innovation. He devoted a five-year-long research and development (2012-2017) to HMS. Finally, in 2020, the patent for HMS was approved!


No Sludge with HMS

Unlike traditional pumice stones that produce significant amounts of sludge, HMS hardly generates any waste. Beyza added that an average company uses 100 tones of pumice stone and 1 kg of that produces 3 kg sludge!


No Rinsing in HMS

There is no dust on fabrics stone-washed by HMS. Due to this reason, no rinsing is needed, suggesting water conservation efforts.


ZDHC Certification

HMS is aligned with Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC) guidelines, ensuring that the chemicals used in the manufacturing process are safe for both the environment and workers.


Effluent Treatment Plants (ETPs) in HMS Denim Washing

Effluent Treatment Plants (ETPs) are integrated into HMS production facilities to efficiently manage water usage and treat and recycle any remaining waste effectively.


The Green EIM Score

The Environment Impact Measurement (EIM) tool has awarded HMS a Green EIM Score, highlighting its commitment to sustainability and transparency.


No Microplastics and Hazardous Materials

There are no microplastics and hazardous residues in HMS! This has been proved by the Middle East Technical University, Türkiye. This shows that HMS not only delivers superior results in denim washing but also upholds the highest standards of environmental safety.


The Industry Support

Despite being a newcomer to the industry, HMS has garnered widespread support and recognition for its amazing innovation. Collaborations with leading brands like MUD Jeans underscore the industry's adoption of sustainable solutions and the importance of transparency in production processes.
