Can we have neutral wardrobe essentials that go a long way?

WE LOVE:

  • Durable wardrobe essentials in elegant neutral earth tones
  • Colors created responsibly

BUT DID YOU KNOW?

  • Earth tone shades usually come with reproducibility issues
  • Fabrics therefore usually need to be dyed twice, leading to lower productivity and unnecessary use of precious resources

The Archroma Way to a Sustainable World: Safe, Efficient, Enhanced. It’s our nature.

  1. SAFE – IT’S OUR NATURE TO PROTECT

  2. 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.
  3. 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.
