ALCHEMIE TECHNOLOGY ON SUSTAINABLE TEXTILE MANUFACTURING

Alchemie Technology's Alan Hudd says there are cost-saving solutions for sustainable fashion and textile manufacturing which can drive down emissions

The fashion and textile industries are some of the biggest polluters on the planet, creating 3% of global CO2 emissions and being the second largest cause of water pollution worldwide.

Disruptive technology leader Alchemie Technology is ready to change the industry, by reducing wastewater, energy and carbon emissions during the dyeing and finishing processes, as well as lowering operating costs across the supply chain. The company recently joined the D(R)YE Factory of the Future Project, launched by Fashion For Good to accelerate the shift from wet to dry processing in the textile supply chain. The project has brought together several innovations in textile pre-treatment and colouration with the aim of reducing emissions and cutting water consumption.

Here, Dr Alan Hudd, founder of Alchemie Technology, explains why it is critically important to lower emissions from the fashion and textile supply chain.
