DyeCoo Textile Systems is the first supplier of industrial COâ‚‚ dyeing equipment, which uses recycled COâ‚‚ gas instead of water to permeate textiles with dyes. The company expects this partnership to pave the way for more ecological products, which will meet the rigorous demands of the industry.

Water-based dyeing technologies

Dyeing textiles has always used water-based technologies, requiring large amount of water, which are to remain polluted at the end of the process.

The technology applied by DyeCoo uses reclaimed COâ‚‚ as dyeing medium in a closed loop beam dyeing system – recycling 95% of the used COâ‚‚ after each batch. COâ‚‚-based technology, now focused on dyeing polyesters, has already been embraced by A-list brands, governments and designers, the company reports.

Sustainable technology

This technology is said to offer a huge potential to save water and energy, both of which are top priorities for the textile dyers. DyStar fully commits to this project to offer the highest sustainable solutions for the textile industry.

“We are very pleased with DyStar’s dedication to support our water and chemical free dyeing technology. Collaborations like this one are key to further help our ground breaking technology towards global implementation,” commented Mats Blacker, CEO DyeCoo.

“Seeing that the textile industry is growing exponentially, making tangible sustainable and economical viable improvements a reality are not only vital for our planet, but also for the future of the entire industry. We strive to deliver commercially viable solutions for the textile industry while continuing to develop breakthrough technologies. Companies like DyStar help us to achieve those goals.”
