Adidas to adopt DyeCoo technology after LCA
09/10/2023
By using recycled carbon dioxide, DyeCoo’s technology eliminates the use of water in the textile dyeing process.
The LCA was commissioned as part of a programme to identify and certify low carbon textile coloration technologies, and compared DyeCoo with three of adidas' other suppliers.
Based on these results, adidas will be incorporating CO2 dyeing into its supply chain.
This report coincides with increasing interest in DyeCoo's technology from firms all over the world, including manufacturers in Turkey, Vietnam, India, Bangladesh and Central America, according to the company.
During this summer’s ITMA machinery fair, DyeCoo introduced a range of new CO2 dyeing solutions, including a smaller fully electric CO2 dyeing machine suitable for sampling and small-scale production, as well as an advanced lab system for R&D purposes.
Kasper Nossent, commercial director at DyeCoo, said: "We are thrilled about this report — and that CO2 dyeing is gaining momentum in textile manufacturing.
"We look forward to expanding our technology beyond our current customers to other factories around the world in collaboration with our brand partners."
Simon Weston, CleanDye's CEO, added: "The LCA is also a testament to our Vietnam facility, where we use DyeCoo technology to deliver high-quality, sustainably manufactured fabric at competitive prices."
CleanDye has produced fabrics for brands such as Decathlon, Tom Tailor, s.Oliver, Marco Polo, and Bonprix, and global apparel and footwear brands are in discussions to incorporate DyeCoo and CleanDye into their supply chains, added the companies.
