Innovation-led model; Innovative technology offers a breakthrough solution for the textile industry, enabling the creation of wash-down aesthetics and vintage looks without the resource-intensive processes of denim dyeing and bleaching.
Revolutionary Approach
The approach, particularly suitable for TENCELTM Lyocell fiber or TENCELTM Lyocell fiber with REFIBRATM technology, elevates the versatility of fabrics and expands design possibilities in ready-to-wear and knit apparel.
Compatible with existing fabric machinery, this groundbreaking method enhances energy efficiency in production, leading to substantial cost-savings and sustainable practices across the supply chain.
Cuts Environmental Impact
By streamlining the dyeing process into a single step, water, energy, and chemical consumption can be reduced by up to 50%, 40%, and 90%, respectively.
"As the demand for environmentally-friendly products rises, designers and manufacturers are increasingly seeking ways to minimize their ecological footprint," states Rex Mok, Vice President of Fiber Technical Marketing and Development at Lenzing.
Unleashing Design Possibilities
With this innovative approach, limitless design options are unlocked for knit apparel and denim-style garments while significantly reducing water usage and promoting sustainability.
Cost efficiency; The new technique is compatible with regular, organic, and natural dyes, allowing yarn makers and fabric mills to maintain continuous production without dye residue issues.
By minimizing machine downtime during color changes, the approach enhances efficiency, reduces costs, and supports sustainable production practices throughout the value chain.
