Textile chemicals group Archroma has extended a partnership it set up with Cotton Incorporated in 2016.

Non-profit organisation Cotton Incorporated approached Archroma in 2016 and suggested a joint project to develop a dyestuff from by-products of the cotton industry. Cotton farming and processing generate by-products such as burs, stems and leaves. Cotton Incorporated recognised that these natural by-products, which are already going into packaging, insulation and other products, could also be used to produce dyes.
