Pratteln, Switzerland - 20/08/2024
Archroma, a global leader in specialty chemicals towards sustainable solutions, is bringing its latest “Planet Conscious+” innovations to FEBRATEX 2024 in Brazil with the aim to empower the region’s textile mills and brands to lead the industry shift to sustainability.
“Brazil’s integrated textile supply chain positions it as a leader in sustainability. Archroma supports local mills and brands in addressing water and energy, chemical use and waste management challenges while also boosting their international competitiveness. FEBRATEX 2024 is the ideal showcase for our innovations and concepts, like SUPER SYSTEMS+,” Leonardo Harsch, VP South and Central Americas, Archroma Textile Effects, said.
SUPER SYSTEMS+ are powerful end-to-end systems that combine fiber-specific processing solutions and intelligent effects. Drawing on the industry’s broadest product portfolio, the SUPER SYSTEMS+ suite encompasses wet processing solutions that deliver measurable environmental impact from sizing to finishing; durable colors and functional effects that add value and longevity to the end product; and cleaner chemistries that eliminate harmful or regulated substances.
