Measured performance
Environmental impact and analysis

Quantitative indicators cover carbon emissions, wastewater quality and fabric residues. Process comparisons and measurements show the environmental performance of Biomass Natural Dyeing.

Lower carbon footprint in dyeing

The 2023 carbon assessment and process comparison report a maximum CO₂ reduction of more than 70% versus chemical dyeing. Lower-temperature and shorter processing reduce thermal-energy requirements.

Lower operating temperatures and shorter process times reduce thermal demand, supported by more efficient material and additive inputs.

Reduced wastewater organic load and solids

BOD, TOC and other water-quality indicators characterise process outputs. Changes in inputs, additives and processing lower wastewater concentrations.
