SUSTAINABILITY
High performance, low impact
Dyeing and processing is responsible for a significant part of the severe environmental impact of the textile industry. Most dyes used for textiles are petroleum based and many contain large amounts of hazardous chemicals. Not only is it bad for the environment, but it is also bad for the industry workers and the consumers. IndiDye® natural plant dyes help brands and retailers move away from wasteful practices and the petrochemical dependence which has so heavily influenced the industry for decades.
​
IndiDye® natural dyes are made from renewable resources primarily based on by-products and waste. We use no hazardous chemicals and are completely free from petrochemicals. Our natural plant dyes are manufactured in a water-based extraction process or by natural fermentation, and biodegradable without any chemicals that are harmful to planet or people. IndiDye® natural dyes are
OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT certified, and conform to the ZDHC MRSL ensuring Zero Discharge of Harmful Chemicals.
Less water
Water scarcity is an increasing global problem. It is estimated that 20% of all industrial water pollution is due to traditional textile dyeing and treatment. IndiDye® natural dyes uses much less water than conventional chemical dyeing. How much? On an average, conventional fibre reactive yarn dyeing uses approximately 100 litres of water to dye 1 kg of yarn. The IndiDye® ultrasonic fibre dyeing process uses an average of 27 litres of water to dye 1 kg of fibre. We blend these dyed fibres with raw undyed fibres when we spin our mélange yarns. With an average of 10% dyed fibre in the yarn we claim a 97,3% reduction in water consumption during dyeing for our mélange yarns compared with conventional fibre reactive dyed yarns.
​
We are on a mission to push all boundaries for responsible manufacture with a strong focus on sustainability using renewable resources based on waste and by-products. IndiDye® is the next generation of clean, sustainable, and responsible dyeing solutions.
CREDENTIALS
IndiDye® natural plant dyes are OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT certified, and have been tested and analysed against strict criteria for a lower environmental impact including compliance with both REACH and the ZDHC MRSL.
