SUSTAINABLE DYES

Dyeing has a significant negative impact across the entire textile production chain. There are many possible solutions depending on the eco-responsible approach: waterless processes, waste-based dyes, artisanal methods, natural dyes, or even avoiding dyeing altogether. Which techniques work best for which materials? What are the industrial constraints when working with textile manufacturers?

Here are the questions we will address:

- Implementing these processes with your textile suppliers

 - Advantages and disadvantages of responsible dyeing: industrial constraints

 - The real impact of dyeing during production, depending on the type of material

 - Responsible dyeing processes for natural and man-made fibers

 - Responsible dyeing processes for wool

 - Processes for different types of vegetable tanning

 - Responsible dyeing processes for recycled synthetics and biopolymers

 - Innovations in dyeing: waterless, protein-based, CO₂

 - Presentation of responsible dye companies: Fragmentario, Pyratex

 - Certifications in dyeing
