HOUSTON – Fibre52’s cotton preparation and dyeing technology, which claims to eliminate harsh chemical usage while also reducing the amount of water and energy required, has been certified by ZDHC and is now on the organisation’s list of approved chemistries.
According to Fibre52, traditional cotton preparation treatments often involve the use of hazardous chemicals and high heat that weakens the cotton fibres. Its prepare for dye (PFD) and dye process, however, replaces these chemicals with bio-active products and uses lower levels of heat in the pre-treatment process, saving up to 70% less water and up to 40% less energy, the company says.
