Archroma has introduced a new range of dyes called FiberColors®. These dyes are unique because they are made using technology that turns old textile waste into beautiful colors. What is even better is that at least 50% of the material used to make FiberColors® comes from textile waste, like old clothes.

This innovation recently won an award for its creativity. The groundbreaking FiberColors® technology earned recognition at the recent 2023 Just Style Excellence Awards for its innovation in dye technology.

FiberColors® dyes are used on fabrics like cotton and polyamide, and they can be used to make a variety of colors that never go out of style. These dyes are great for making things like t-shirts, pants, sweatshirts, and even home textiles.

The FiberColors® range include Diresul® Fiber-Teak (brown shades), Diresul® Fiber-Ochre (olive shades), Diresul® Fiber-Maroon (bordeaux shades), Diresul® Fiber-Slate (blue grey shades) and Diresul® Fiber-Graphite (dark grey shades). The dyes are especially suited for cellulosic fibers such as cotton, viscose, linen and kapok, and can be used in continuous, exhaust, denim and garment dyeing and printing processes.

The best part is that by using FiberColors®, fashion brands can help reduce waste and be more environmentally friendly. It's a step towards reusing old clothes and making new ones without harming the environment.
