Archroma Textile Effects market segment director, CEL and blends, WO casual, formal and home textiles, Anish Paliwal said: “Brands and mills face unprecedented pressure today, with rising demand for sustainable products and operational challenges related to water and waste management and stringent compliance requirements.”
He explained the One Way+ programme offers expert support to achieve sustainability targets and comply with relevant regulations and standards at the same time as significantly enhancing product quality, performance and added value.
The programme has a three-stage approach that starts with establishing a baseline. It is followed by process design and implementation, and concludes with ongoing improvement.
Tailored for selected clientele, the solution is said to tap into the expertise of a specialised team of Archroma processing experts and use advanced tools and technologies, such as Archroma’s One Way Impact Calculator coupled with its Sustainability Improvement Programme.
