Black pigments from waste tested for dope dyeing

A new pilot programme seeks to further develop and scale waste-derived black pigments for the dope dyeing of manmade cellulosic fibres (MMCFs) and recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) yarns.

Bringing together global partners such as supply chain initiative Fashion for Good, fashion groups Kering and PVH, plus MMCF producer Birla Cellulose, manufacturer Paradise Textiles and eco-minded disruptors Graviky Labs, Living Ink and Nature Coatings, the project will focus on testing black pigments from industrial carbon emissions, waste algae and wood waste.
