Low Carbon Digital Textile Dyeing Production

Get in touch

Up to 85% energy savings

Dramatic energy savings reduce cost and carbon footprint of textile dyeing

Up to 95% waste water reduction

High colour fastness without washing, enabling dyeing in water-poor regions and elimination of environmental water pollution

Up to 30% chemistry reduction

The liquor ratio is minimised through non-contact application, working to the saturation point of fabric.

Up to 50% cost reduction

The Endeavour process reduces operational costs by up to 50% - more flexible production delivers significant supply chain savings.

Alchemie Endeavour™ - Low Carbon Digital Textile Dyeing Production

Endeavour™ is our full width, production-scale system,
combining digital dye application with in-line drying,
fixation, and softening to deliver low carbon, waste
water-free textile dyeing

Alchemie Endeavour™ - Technology for Good

Delivering a low carbon future

The textile industry is one of the biggest polluters on the planet, generating over 3% of global CO2 emissions.
Without intervention, projections indicate that emissions could soar to 2.5 gigatons by 2050 under current practices.
The key advantage of adopting Alchemie’s digital approach to textile dyeing includes an energy consumption reduction of up to 85%.

Eliminating waste water emissions

Textile dyeing and finishing accounts for over 20% of global industrial waste water pollution.
Endeavour^TM can eliminate waste water emissions and cut the amount of water being used by up to 95%, when compared to a traditional jet exhaust dyeing process.
Dyeing operations can now be co-located with garment production and located in water-poor regions.

More profitable production

The Endeavour^TM process reduces operational costs by 50%.
Radically more flexible production delivers significant supply-chain savings.
The typical capital payback time for Endeavour^TM production lines is 12 months.
