The textile value chain being responsible for 6 to 8% of the worldwide emissions
Arkema, a leader in Specialty Materials, has launched its new range ENCOR bio-based waterborne dispersions designed for textile printing and finishing applications. These binders, with up to 30% bio-based content, and up to 40% carbon footprint reduction compared to traditional textile resins, are supporting the textile industry's efforts to decrease their product’s carbon footprint, supporting a more sustainable lifestyle.
The textile value chain being responsible for 6 to 8% of the worldwide emissions, with an increasing demand, there is an important need to transform and reduce the carbon footprint of the sector. Bio-based solutions set the stage for the next generation of more sustainable textile products, supporting our customers to achieve their sustainability and carbon reduction goals.”
Arkema’s approach encompasses the entire lifecycle: From safer product, such as formaldehyde and APEO-free formulations that comply with Oeko-Tex Eco Passport standards and/or are suitable for food contact, to the use of renewable and lower carbon feedstocks. We also focus on end-of-life management, with work to enhance the biodegradability of our future grades, extending durability, as well as improving color solidity and washing resistance.”
