15/05/2017
Outdoor brand Patagonia is using Archroma’s EarthColors range of dyes in a new capsule collection, the colour and specialty chemicals provider has announced.

Patagonia’s Clean Color collection consists entirely of garments that have been coloured with dyes made from natural sources, including EarthColors, a range of dyes that Archroma has made from agricultural waste.

Specifically, the dyes Patagonia has chosen to use are the Palmetto Green and Citrus Brown colours, made respectively from non-edible palmetto plants and bitter orange peels left over from agriculture or pharmaceutical extraction.
