Archroma and Colourizd have collaborated to revolutionize the textile and fashion industries through Sustainable Fashion

Switzerland: Archroma and Colourizd have entered into a partnership and together will establish a new benchmark for the more environmentally responsible manufacturing of sustainable textiles. Archroma is a global leader in specialty chemicals for sustainable solutions. With the help of the new partnership, fabric mills and brands will be able to create high-performance textiles with the greatest possible consumer appeal and the least possible environmental effects through the combination of Archroma pigment colouring solutions with the Colourizd, QuantumColour yarn-coloring technology. With Archroma, textile producers and clothing companies can enhance the QuantumColour procedure with specialized system solutions, such as JUST COLOUR. With Helizarin binders and Archroma's Printofix pigment dispersions, this formaldehyde-free pigment colouring system produces incredibly soft fabrics with great fastness and durability while also providing energy and chemical savings and increased production. Cellulosic and synthetic yarns are dyed using traditional fiber-reactive techniques, which are multi-step, resource-intensive procedures that require up to 95 litres of water per kilogram of coloured yarn and emit about 94 litres of effluent. In comparison, the ground-breaking QuantumColour method uses just 0.95 litres of water per kilogram of coloured yarn while producing no waste by immediately injecting the pigment and a binder into the yarn. This entails a record-breaking 98% drop in water use, zero discharge of hazardous chemicals or wastewater, a 73% drop in carbon footprint, and a 50% drop in energy use.

According to the Director of Archroma,  “Archroma is committed to advancing the fashion and textile industry with sustainable solutions that are safe, efficient and enhanced As the preferred supplier of pigment coloration solutions for QuantumColour we are proud to join Colourizd in challenging industry conventions to make textile and fashion production better for brands and mills, people and our planet.”

According to the Chief Executive Officer, Colourizd, stated “With a mission to revolutionize the textile industry through groundbreaking and eco-friendly solutions, COLOURizd™ is pleased to partner with Archroma to champion clean and simple yarn coloring. We are reimagining textile coloration in partnership with leaders like Archroma because we believe in a future where fashion is accessible, affordable and sustainable”

According to TechSci Research, Consumers are becoming more concerned of what they eat and wear as a result of rising knowledge about climate change, global warming, and waste dumped into the oceans. The fashion business is currently going through a transformation into a more sustainable front. Over the coming years, with increasing awareness among the consumers , the market for  vegan leather will increase as a result of this, many fashion firms are prohibiting leather made from creatures like crocodiles, snakes, and kangaroos. Textile firms are becoming climate neutral and improving their vegan leather selection, along with the introduction of plant-based leather demand for cruelty-free leather will increase in the future. Despite the fact that certain urban customers are becoming more aware of the environmental difficulties the fashion industry faces and more open to the concept of sustainability in fashion, the uptake of sustainable fashion is still constrained by a lack of environmentally friendly solutions. Another group of buyers, driven by a strong demand for variety and the consequent unthinking purchasing of less expensive quick fashion, has not yet warmed to the concept of sustainable fashion.

The popularity of sustainable and organic clothing demonstrates how modern consumers are adopting eco-friendly design trends. The demand for organic textiles is growing in line with its market size, which is also expanding.  For instance, organic cotton has emerged as the most well-known sustainable textile in India. The country being the second largest producer of cotton in the world has also produced approximately 1.23 million tonnes of organic cotton in 2022. This collaboration will further create lucrative opportunities for the growth of sustainable textiles industry.
