Archroma, a leader in specialty chemicals globally, introduced the ONE WAY+ programme to assist mills and brands in implementing best practices for increased output and efficiency as well as decreased environmental impact.
The programme consists of three stages: creating the baseline, designing and implementing the process, and continuous improvement. Customised for a chosen group of clients, it makes use of specialised technologies and tools, such as Archroma’s ONE WAY Impact Calculator in conjunction with the Sustainability Improvement Programme, and the knowledge of a carefully chosen group of Archroma processing specialists.
“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. By signing up to our ONE WAY+, they will receive expert support to achieve their sustainability targets and comply with relevant regulations and standards at the same time as significantly enhancing the quality, performance and added value of their products,” Anish Paliwal, Market Segment Director, CEL & Blends, WO Casual, Formal & Home Textiles, Archroma Textile Effects, averred.
“This approach reflects our ‘Planet Conscious+’ vision of partnership and innovation that helps brands and mills bring their ideas, products and potential to life with a positive impact on their economic and environmental sustainability,” he added.
Mills using the ONE WAY+ approach to implement Super Systems+ should anticipate increased productivity, lower resource consumption and utility costs, cleaner chemistry, and the co-development of new features and aesthetics. Engaging in the ONE WAY+ process also communicates to brand partners the mills’ dedication to sustainability through the adoption of international best practices and the use of products that meet both present and future regulatory standards.
A fundamental component of Archroma’s “Planet Conscious+” concept is ONE WAY+. With the broadest range of products in the industry and a wide-ranging global presence, Archroma possesses the know-how and motivation to propel the textile and apparel sector towards a more sustainable future by expediting its shift to the most eco-friendly procedures.
