Sustainable Trichromatic Textile Dyeing

牛津生物颜料是一家对纺织染料感兴趣的小型初创公司，有一个简单的问题：我们如何才能做得更好？纺织染料在它们生命的每个阶段都会带来问题。它们是以能源密集型和不环保的方式生产的，它们是由石油和天然气等石化产品制成的，它们在使用时会污染河流和海洋，在纺织品寿命结束时，它们不会在环境中轻易分解，造成更多污染。我们希望改变这种模式。这个项目旨在开发可持续的、不褪色的纺织染料，这些染料可以混合和搭配，通过染色获得任何颜色。通过使用植物性染料，我们使用和固定大气中的碳，同时确保服装供应链中对环境破坏最大的部分之一不再使用石化产品。

Oxford Biopigments is a small start-up company with an interest in textile dyes and a simple question: how can we do things better?Textile dyes cause problems at every stage of their life. They are produced in an energy intensive and environmentally unfriendly manner, they are made from petrochemicals such as oil and natural gas, they pollute rivers and oceans when they are used and at the end of a textile's life they don't break down easily in the environment causing yet more pollution. We want to change this paradigm.This project aims to develop sustainable, colour-fast, textile dyes that can be mixed and matched to obtain any colour by dyeing. By using plant-based dyes we use and fix carbon from the atmosphere whilst ensuring a shift away from petrochemical use in one of the most environmentally damaging parts of the apparel supply chain.
