“Archroma is already a leader in driving sustainability in the value chain,” he said. “We intend to build on that position, making use of innovations we have developed and continue to develop for implementation use across our markets.”
He added that the company has “accomplished a great deal”, despite its limited history, and would continue to increase investment in innovation.
Among its recent efforts to improve sustainability in the textile industry is the development of its Advanced Denim dyeing technology, which allows savings of 92% in water, 87% in cotton waste and 30% in energy, compared to conventional denim dyeing processes.
It has also launched EarthColors, a range of dyes derived from agricultural waste including leaves and the non-edible shells of nuts, and Smartrepel Hydro, a water repellent agent that is free of PFCs.
