100 billion articles of clothing are made every year. This comes at a huge cost to the environment, from the raw materials used to the industrial processes that support production. By working with Nature, we can change the paradigm.

ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT

The dyeing industry is one of the largest water consumers in the world, using over 5 trillion litres per year along with petrochemical dyes and a host of toxic and highly polluting chemicals. According to the World Bank, textile dyeing accounts for around 20% of global industrial water pollution.

ENVIRONMENT FOOTPRINT

Textile dyeing pollution is more than simply dye and water. The industry uses up to 1.2 kilos of chemicals per kilo of fabric, only 50 grams of it being dye. Approximately 70 highly toxic chemicals are routinely used in textile processing, and up to 30 of them are irretrievable.

ENVIRONMENT FOOTPRINT

Our goal at Colorifix is to minimise the environmental impact of the textile dyeing industry by replacing chemistry with biology. This completely avoids petrochemicals and allows us to move towards a renewable and sustainable supply chain whilst providing benefits in water and energy.
