Archroma, a leading global provider of specialty chemicals, has announced its membership in the BioCircular Materials Alliance, a collaborative initiative aimed at promoting sustainability and circularity within the fashion sector. This alliance, spearheaded by Spiber, a trailblazer in microbially-fermented Brewed Protein materials, brings together top fashion brands, manufacturers, and suppliers focused on advancing the use of bio-based textiles and environmentally friendly chemical processes.
A significant project of the alliance is the creation of a Materials BioCircularity Database, which will aid brands and mills in evaluating the recyclability of their products based on their choices of fibers, dyes, and finishing chemicals. Archroma, known for its cutting-edge dyes and sustainable technologies, is committed to enhancing existing market solutions while providing additional value to brands, manufacturers, and consumers alike. The company’s participation as one of only two suppliers of dyes and chemicals in the alliance highlights its dedication to fostering a sustainable and circular approach in the fashion industry.
Prominent members of the BioCircular Materials Alliance include renowned names such as Stella McCartney, Marzotto, and Fashion for Good, alongside 13 other organisations, all collaborating to reshape the future of textiles through innovative and cooperative efforts.
