Lindex, a European fashion chain, has stated that almost all of its denim assortments (about 90 per cent) are now being dyed with the ‘cleanest’ indigo dye which is better for the environment and the people working with it, the company claims.
The company’s denim range is dyed using DyStar Indigo Vat 40 per cent Solution. The dyeing process has a lower environmental impact: saving water, energy and chemicals. “We work on reducing the environmental footprint in all parts of our denim production, from fibre to finished product. We are proud to have taken this big step in the dyeing process, which stands for a major part of the impact for both workers and the environment. We will continue our denim journey and we have more great things to come,” says Anna-Karin Dahlberg, Production Sustainability Manager, Lindex.
