Fashion for Good initiates project with brands and innovators to shift textile processing from wet to dry

The global sustainable initiative Fashion for Good has launched a new consortium project called the D(r)ye Factory of the Future. Its aim is to accelerate the shift from wet to mostly dry processing as textile processing is responsible for the highest greenhouse gas emissions, significant water and chemical use in the fashion value chain. Thus, the project brings together several innovations in textile pre-treatment and colouration that have the potential to reduce emissions by up to 89 percent, and to cut water consumption by between 83 and 95 percent.
