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.
Alchemie Technology develops cleantech manufacturing solutions using their more energy efficient, less costly and sustainable digital materials fabrication technologies for textile dyeing.
DyeCoo’s CO2 technology is the world’s first 100% water-free and chemical-free textile processing solution.
AirDye® enables a technology to print and dye textiles without using any water, providing a quick, simple, environmentally friendly, and economically viable way to color and print materials. It also addresses the problem of excessive water use and pollution by lowering the carbon footprint associated with conventional dyeing processes.
