Dow and Ralph Lauren Corporation have released a detailed manual on how to dye cotton more sustainably and more effectively using the solutions manufacturer's EcoFast Pure textile treatment. With the manual, Ralph Lauren and Dow are open-sourcing this improved dyeing process to encourage adoption in the textile industry and help standardize a more sustainable and efficient cotton dyeing system. It details how to use EcoFast Pure, a cationic cotton treatment developed by Dow, with existing dyeing equipment. Ralph Lauren, the first brand to use EcoFast Pure, partnered with Dow to optimize and implement the technology as part of its new Color on Demand platform. Conventional fabric dyeing processes require trillions of liters of water each year, generating roughly 20 of the world's wastewater, according to the companies. Pretreating fabric with EcoFast Pure helps enable up to 90 less process chemicals, 50 less water, 50 less dyes and 40 less energy without sacrificing color or quality, they reported.
