The new partnership will empower fabric mills and brands to combine Archroma's pigment coloration solutions with Colourizd's “QuantumColour” yarn-coloring technology, enabling them to create high-performance textiles with maximum consumer appeal and minimal environmental impact.

Conventional fiber-reactive dyeing methods for cellulosic and synthetic yarns are labor-intensive processes that consume a significant amount of resources, using up to 95 l of water per kg of colored yarn and generating approximately 94 l of effluent.

In contrast, the innovative “QuantumColour” process revolutionizes yarn dyeing by directly injecting pigment and a binder into the yarn, resulting in a mere 0.95 l of water usage per kg of colored yarn with no effluent produced. This exceptional approach achieves an unprecedented 98% reduction in water consumption, eliminates the discharge of harmful chemicals and wastewater, reduces the carbon footprint by 73%, and lowers energy use by 50%.*

“Archroma is committed to advancing the fashion and textile industry with sustainable solutions that are safe, efficient and enhanced,” Joaquin Femat, Director, Printing Market Segment, Textile Effects Division, Archroma, said. “As the preferred supplier of pigment coloration solutions for QuantumColour we are proud to join Colourizd in challenging industry conventions to make textile and fashion production better for brands and mills, people and our planet.”

“With a mission to revolutionize the textile industry through groundbreaking and eco-friendly solutions, Colourizd is pleased to partner with Archroma to champion clean and simple yarn coloring. We are reimagining textile coloration in partnership with leaders like Archroma because we believe in a future where fashion is accessible, affordable and sustainable,” Jennifer Thompson, Chief Executive Officer at Colourizd, said.
