Inventing the most sustainable way to color textile

The textile industry is in need of a detox. It’s responsible for up to 10% of the carbon emissions and 20% of wastewater generated across the world. One of the main culprits behind this pollution is inefficient textile dyeing processes. Therefore, lowering the environmental toll of colors should be a top priority for everyone in the fashion ecosystem who are striving for more sustainability.

The Paris-based, material tech startup Ever Dye is stepping up to this challenge with their greener, faster and energy-efficient dyeing process that produces recyclable and reusable dyes. This eco-friendly alchemy involves – synthesizing pigments from natural elements, a fast and no-heat required process to attach the dyes, and a simple, mechanical process to clean the used water after the fact.

With Ever Dye's novel method, fabrics can be dyed five times faster with fifteen times less energy consumed – and without any petrochemicals involved.
