Plug-and-play sustainable dyeing solution to help the textile industry reduce energy costs and environmental impact

Project description

Sustainable and cost-effective dyeing practices

Textile and fashion brands are under increasing pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, driven by national and international policies, consumer demands and investor expectations. However, traditional dyeing methods in the industry are both energy-intensive and economically burdensome, exacerbating the emissions issue. While sustainable dye alternatives exist, they often come at a higher cost due to expensive materials or energy-intensive processes. With this in mind, the EIC-funded Ever Dye project introduces a pioneering process using bio-sourced pigments, detoxifying the industry and slashing energy expenses by enabling room temperature dyeing. This innovation not only aligns with emission reduction demands but also promises substantial savings for dyeing houses and fashion brands.

Objective

Textile and fashion brands face mounting pressure from national and international policies, consumers, and institutional investors to transform their practices and decrease greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Presently, textile dyeing methods are both energy-intensive, resulting in higher GHG emissions, and economically burdensome. Although sustainable dyes can reduce GHG emissions, they often come at a higher cost due to expensive materials, additional capital investments, or the need for high temperatures, leading to elevated energy expenses.
Ever Dye has pioneered an innovative dyeing process with a biosourced pigment, effectively detoxifying the textile industry, diminishing GHG emissions, and significantly reducing energy costs by enabling dyeing at room temperature. This breakthrough allows dyeing houses and fashion brands to achieve substantial savings while adhering to the growing demand for emission reduction across the textile value chain.
Ever Dye has already made considerable headway in the market and intends to carry out laboratory and industrial trials in partnership with several prominent fashion brands.
