Archroma, a global leader in specialty chemicals towards sustainable solutions, has won major awards in two categories at the Just Style 2024 Excellence Awards.

The company bags two coveted Innovation Excellence awards for its groundbreaking SUPER SYSTEMS+ solutions and AVICUERO leather tanning process, as well as a Social Excellence award for its longstanding and holistic commitment to community engagement in Baroda, India. 

The awards recognize how Archroma is driving change with innovations that advance sustainability and through initiatives that contribute to the socio-economic progress of communities near to its Baroda manufacturing plant.

“As an industry leader working with textile and fashion brands and suppliers worldwide, we like to say that Archroma touches and colors people’s lives every day—and we are very aware that this creates a huge responsibility,” Paul Cowell, Vice President of Innovation, Marketing, Brands & Sustainability, Archroma Textile Effects, said. “We are honored to be recognized in the Just Style Excellence Awards, and we remain committed to people-centered sustainability under our PLANET CONSCIOUS+ vision of the future.”

SUPER SYSTEMS+ is a comprehensive suite of solutions that addresses the textile industry's key challenges, including water consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, circularity, chemical management and compliance.

AVICUERO is a system for sustainable leather tanning and dyeing. Developed in collaboration with UK-based leather technology expert Dr Leather, it is both chrome- and metal-free and yet maintains the quality and performance of traditional tanning methods. Tanners enjoy shorter processing times, eliminate the pickling process and reduce salt usage, leading to lower pollution effluent discharge loads.
