October 21, 2024 (press release) –
COLOURizd™, a textile coloration technology company, and Re-Matters Textile Recycling Solutions, a startup dedicated to promoting circular processes in the textile industry, announced the companies have partnered to combine their sustainability efforts.
The collaboration aims to combine COLOURizd’s dyeing technology with Re-Matters’ circular expertise to drive more sustainable practices throughout the supply chain.
Established in 2023, Re-Matters was created in response to mounting global environmental concerns and the rising need for sustainable textile solutions. Leveraging over 40 years of experience from their parent company, Ereks Blue Matters, the company offers engineering and consultancy services to the textile supply chain in assisting organizations in minimizing their environmental footprint through tailored solutions that emphasize reduction, reuse, recycling and regeneration.
“We are excited to partner with COLOURizd, whose innovative dyeing technology aligns perfectly with our mission to promote a circular textile economy,” says Romain Narcy, CEO of Re-Matters. “With the current state of the world, taking action towards sustainability is not just an option, it’s a necessity.”
COLOURizd’ innovative QuantumCOLOUR technology enables the coloring of recycled materials without the need for bleaching or color removal. This technology preserves the integrity of the fibers and enhances yarn properties, such as strength, reduced pilling and decreased hairiness.
“Our partnership with Re-Matters is a perfect match, bringing together two forward-thinking companies dedicated to sustainability,” says Jennifer Thompson, CEO of COLOURizd. “By integrating COLOURizd’s technology with Re-Matters’ focus on circular value streams, we can offer textile manufacturers a sustainable solution that reduces environmental impact and enhances the performance and quality of their products.”
Re-Matters and COLOURizd will exhibit at the upcoming Textile Exchange Conference, The Case for Change, in Pasadena, Calif., Oct. 28–31, 2024.
