Archroma, a global leader in sustainable specialty chemicals, has joined the BioCircular Materials Alliance to accelerate the fashion industry's shift towards circular business models. Founded by biomaterials pioneer Spiber Inc, the Alliance unites fashion brands, manufacturers, and suppliers with a shared goal of promoting bio-based textile materials and chemical treatments.
A key milestone for the Alliance is the development of the Materials BioCircularity Database, designed to help brands and mills assess the impact of their fiber, dye, and finishing chemical choices on recyclability.
With its Planet Conscious+ vision, Archroma is committed to driving sustainability beyond conventional practices. This vision aligns seamlessly with the Alliance's focus on creating a circular ecosystem.
Archroma’s sustainable innovations aim to deliver enhanced value to brands, mills, and consumers by improving product safety, durability, and recyclability. The company strives to enable the production of apparel and textiles that are more sustainable and efficient.
In addition to Archroma, other notable members, including Stella McCartney, Marzotto Wool Manufacturing Srl, Fashion for Good, and 13 other organizations, have joined the Alliance. Archroma is one of only two dyes and chemical suppliers within this collective, reinforcing its role in advancing sustainable solutions for the fashion industry.
