Dyes / low-embodied carbon

Textile dyeing and finishing processes are among the most polluting manufacturing processes on the planet. By employing low-embodied carbon dyes, the carbon footprint associated with traditional dyeing techniques is substantially mitigated. Derived from various sources, including natural pigments, innovative synthetic compounds, and technological processes, low-carbon dyes are celebrated for their minimal environmental impact.
