CleanDye CO₂ dyeing business fails

HO CHI MINH CITY – CleanDye chief executive Simon Weston has said the company’s Vietnam business, built around DyeCoo’s waterless polyester dyeing technology, has failed commercially after several years of operation.

In a LinkedIn post, Weston said CleanDye had set out to demonstrate the potential of DyeCoo’s supercritical CO₂ dyeing technology, which replaces water with carbon dioxide as a dyeing medium and eliminates process chemicals and wastewater discharge.
