Desalting? Reversible dyeing? Dyeing and printing industry ushers in big changes!

Textile dyeing is the second-largest polluter of water worldwide, not including salt use.After the salt is used,it is transported to landfills or the ocean.Oceans have increased 0.5% salinity over past 10 years.Textile dyeing produces 2.8% of Global GHG, because of its huge demand of power from its operations.Now, the world’s dyeing and printing industry energy saving, consumption reduction, emission reduction, green, safety requirements are increasing.Green dyeing and printing have become the mainstream of global dyeing and printing industry in future.The continuous innovation and improvement of textile dyeing process and dyestuffis of extraordinary significance in today’s increasingly severe energy situation.

Natural textile dyes

MERDAN® Natural Textile Dyes are made from plants and vegetables which are environmentally sustainable, and can be used for natural and synthetic fibres.The organic waste from producing MERDAN® dyes are used in animal food industries.

Sustainable yarn colouration

COLOURizdTMis an industrial technology to colour cellulosic yarn.COLOURizdTMallows for zero discharge,reduces water by 98%, energy by 50%, carbon footprint by 73%, and infrastructure needs, while colouring beautiful and quality yarns.

Disruptive sustainable dyeing

Nano-Dye Technologies’ Knits Cationic Dyeing completed it's 2 year pilot stage, now launching globally! The result is The Nano-Dye Process, using less chemistry,exhausting 97% of dyes, and not needing salt to dye, has a resulting effluent within 70% lower TDS (total dissolved solids) making ZLD (zero liquid discharge) plants inexpensive to build and run, instituting a CLOSED LOOP dye plant as a cost-efficient reality.Nano-Dye is the cleanest way to dye cellulosic and cellulosic blend textiles.

Reversible textile coloring

Sweden startup Vividye develops reversible textile coloring using resource-efficient printing technology.This technology enables multiple decoloring and recoloring of old fabrics.The startup’s printing technology contains chemical formulations that gently remove the design without harm to the material.As a result, by extending the lifecycle of garments Vividye optimizes the use of water resources and decreases the number of chemicals in the environment.
