The textile industry is believed to be one of the biggest consumers of water. In conventional textile dyeing large amounts of water are used both in terms of intake of fresh water and disposal of waste water. On average an estimated 100 - 150 liter of water is needed to process 1 kg of textile material. Water is used as a solvent in many pretreatment and finishing processes, such as washing, scouring, bleaching and dyeing. Water scarcity and increased environmental awareness are world-wide concerns causing a sharp rise in prices for intake and disposal of water. New legislation will even endanger the continuity of textile dyeing companies in the near future. Elimination of process-water and chemicals are a real breakthrough for the textile dyeing industry. DyeCoo Textile Systems designs and manufactures machines using carbon dioxide (CO2) for dyeing of textile-materials. It's a complete waterfree dyeing process with considerable lower operational costs compared to the conventional dyeing processes. HEADLINES DyeCoo Textile Systems has won the Dutch Innovation Award, the Herman Wijffels Innovatieprijs. More info click here.  |
