The CHT Group, a leading German chemical company, has been awarded the prestigious German Ecodesign Award in the Product category for its innovative dyeing technology, PIGMENTURA. This groundbreaking process, inspired by industry leader Inditex, has demonstrated the potential to reduce water consumption in textile dyeing by an impressive 96 per cent.
The German Ecodesign Award, presented annually by the German Ministry for the Environment and the German Environment Agency, honors exceptional contributions to sustainable economic and social development. PIGMENTURA showcases how rethinking traditional processes can yield significant environmental benefits.
Traditional pigment dyeing methods are often complicated and water-intensive, but PIGMENTURA employs a unique adsorption technique that streamlines the dyeing process and minimises water use. CHT Group has successfully standardised this innovative method for a variety of textiles, overcoming numerous challenges along the way. The company has a production facility in Bangladesh from where it caters to its customers.
