Polygiene x Officina39 launch odour-controlled 'recycled' dye
Antimicrobial finishes specialist Polygiene has teamed up with Italian textile chemical company Officina39 for a recycled dye that helps users stay fresh.
By reducing the need for frequent washing, Polygiene StayFresh ensures Recycrom pigments maintain their colour for longer, extending product lifespan.
Recycrom is made from recycled textile fibres from pre-and post-consumer materials and upcycled into uniform powders. The Polygiene StayFresh solution uses silver ion technology to disrupt and inhibit bacterial growth in textiles.
Ulrika Björk, CEO of Polygiene, said: "As sustainability becomes a key concern and motivation for consumers and manufacturers alike, this collaboration will play an increasingly important role in facilitating the transition from fast-fashion consumables to long-lasting durables."
