Diresul® Earth range
Nature waste-based dyes. Patented dyes synthesized from non-edible waste from agricultural or herbal industries, such as leaves or nutshells
Could we use agricultural waste to bring the gorgeous colors of nature to fashion?
WHAT WE LOVE:
- The pleasure of warm earthy colors on comfortable natural fabrics
- Clothes and textile articles that are made from natural or recycled source
BUT DID YOU KNOW?
- Most colors are obtained from non-renewable oil-based derivatives…
- … but traditional natural dyes have a much lower yield, and growing enough volumes would ultimately compete with food production
The Archroma Way to a Sustainable World: Safe, Efficient, Enhanced. It’s our nature.
- SAFE – IT’S OUR NATURE TO PROTECT
A solid core: Our deeply rooted goal to protect people and our planet.
Safe to use, safe to release and also safe to wear. - EFFICIENT – IT’S OUR NATURE TO RETHINK SUSTAINABLE MANUFACTURING
Innovating application processes that minimize resources and maximize productivity, both in our and our customers’ manufacturing as well as by setting ourselves ambitious sustainability goals. - ENHANCED – IT’S OUR NATURE TO ADD ANOTHER LEVEL OF VALUE
Innovation is critical. With it, we create additional effects, functionalities and aesthetics and sustainable differentiation to bring additional value, helping consumers to achieve their goals, for a life enhanced.
