Chemical recycling is a solution to recycle textile waste and create new textiles. Innovative companies have solutions to textiles being dumped in landfills
The AATCC conference was full of interesting presentations. Potassium permanganate may be regulated by the EU. Biodegradable polyester exists and zero discharge in denim is a reality
The focus of this blog is to share examples of innovations in resource efficiency, waste reduction, and products made using renewable inputs.
Strategies for phasing out substances of concern and replacing with safer chemistry include managing input chemistry, educating designers and stimulating green chemistry research
Probiotic live bacteria and yeast cultures can create a selection of safer chemicals. Made from natural resources, the resulting chemicals are completely biodegradable, and non-toxic, which offers relief, especially in textile and leather manufacturing.
Micro cellulose is manufactured by Nanollose technologies who use industrial organic agricultural waste and the natural process of fermentation to grow plant-free microbial cellulose.
Enter synthetic biology. I continue to see companies and processes working in this field to create new innovative materials such as biobased dyes.
It makes sense to reevaluate chemistry and look at other technologies, such as fermentation and bacteria to make new molecules.
Low impact dyes are dyes that has been classified by the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 as eco-friendly
