The “ECO POCKETING” range features a “waterless” dyeing system using Archroma’s Optisul®C dyes and technology: The fashion effects are created with minimal or no water use.
Trusty selected Archroma’s technology for the substantial amounts of water that can be saved during the dyeing process with Optisul®C dyes. The “ECO POCKETING” range allows apparel suppliers, brand and retailers to combine beautiful inspiration, performance and the very soul of sustainability.
In addition, the sustainability of the “ECO POCKETING” range can be measured and substantiated with Archroma’s ONE WAY sustainability Calculator tool. The ONE WAY score card below shows the water and energy savings of the “ECO POCKETING” range:
