Body Text: <p>As shown on the figure to the left, it is estimated that 11% of the (cradle-to-factory gate) carbon footprint of a 100% polyester ladies top is due to the yarn dyeing stage [1]. </p> <p>Solution dyeing eliminates the need for the yarn dyeing stage for synthetic fibres. It has potential to provide significant energy and water savings [2] as well as carbon emissions and waste water production. Further life cycle assessment research is needed to quantify these benefits in practice.</p>

Body Text: <p>CO₂ dyeing technology uses a totally water free process that utilizes carbon dioxide for the dyeing of polyester fabrics. These fabrics have the performance that matches that of conventionally dyed polyester.</p> <p>This new technique puts CO<sub>2</sub> under high pressure, which turns the CO<sub>2</sub> supercritical. In this state, it has the same properties as both a liquid and a gas. <p>In addition to zero water use, as the CO<sub>2</sub> cools, the dyed fabrics dry quickly without the need of additional heat. The CO<sub>2</sub> is returned to its gaseous state with 95% being recycled for subsequent use. <p>The technology behind this work has been developed by <a href="http://www.dyecoo.com/" target="_blank">DyeCoo Textile Systems</a> in The Netherlands. Their R&D spans 10 years and has focused on how to take waterless dyeing processes of the past and apply them to todays cost expectations. <p>The Yeh group in Thailand has been Dyecoo's partner from the very beginning, adding their knowledge of textile dyeing to the development. They currently have 7 machines running, supplying global customers.</p>

Body Text: <p>A public life cycle assessment of CO<sub>2</sub> dyeing technology is unavailable, but a private study has been carried out by DyeCoo Textile Systems BV [1] that compares CO<sub>2</sub> dyeing with industry averages of best available technology over the last seven years.</p> <p>From this, Adidas claims that the dyeing of a conventional T-shirt requires 25 litres of water, whereas the dyeing of CO<sub>2</sub> dyed "DryDye" T-shirt requires none. In addition, CO<sub>2</sub> dyeing "uses 50% less energy and 50% fewer chemicals" [1]. This will reduce carbon emissions and waste water production.</p>

Body Text: <p>Through a R&D collaboration between Archroma (former Clariant) and Cotton Incorporated, this anti-wrinkle / non iron resin based foam application is suited for non-iron shirts, sheets, trousers and denim.</p> <p>Using traditional pad applications, no new machine investment is required and mill level results offer many advantages.</p> <p><b>Increased productivity, with lower energy & costs: </b>Through a lower wet pick up and faster drying time than conventional applications. A reduced dwell time also leads to higher productivity.</p> <p><b>Improved strength and abrasion resistance:</b>Traditional pad finishes weaken fibres and create premature fabric aging. Foam Eco Care reduces this known issue, giving fabrics greater longevity.</p> <p><b>More sustainable: </b>With low formaldehyde use, reduced energy and water consumption and safer handling for the workers.</p>

Body Text: <p>There is a trade off between the environmental impacts of applying wrinkle free treatments and a reduced need for washing and ironing. Research is needed to get more detail on this trade-off but if applying a finish resulted in a 10% reduction in the number of washes per year this in turn results in a carbon footprint saving of about 2.6% over a garment's lifecycle. This is because the use phase represents a large proportion of total life cycle emissions and the fact that both drying and ironing are reduced by 10% when the number of washes is reduced [1].</p>
