The Pitch:

In traditional textile dyeing processes, large amounts of water are used both in terms of intake of fresh water and disposal of waste water ( including chemicals ). 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 would be a real breakthrough. CO2 Dyeing offers a water-free solution.

During the dyeing of textiles, CO2 under high pressure loaded with dyes penetrates deep into the pore of the fibers. This deep penetration provides effective coloration . The dyes contains no additives or extra chemicals. The process of dyeing and the act of removing the excess dye can be carried out in the same plant ( the dye can be easily separated from CO2). The CO2 is captured from emissions from other industries. 95%-98% of the CO2 is recycled and can be used for the next batch
