Archroma, a specialty chemicals producer focused on sustainable solutions based in Pratteln, Switzerland, announced it has joined the BioCircular Materials Alliance to help accelerate the fashion industry’s transition to sustainable circular business models.

Founded by biomaterials pioneer Spiber Inc., the alliance brings together leading fashion brands, manufacturers and suppliers to encourage the wider adoption of bio-based textile materials and chemical treatments. The alliance recently created the Materials BioCircularity Database that will help brands and mills evaluate how their choice of fibers, dyes and finishing chemicals affect the recyclability of finished goods.

Committed to advancing sustainability, Archroma focuses on developing dyes and chemicals products, processes and technologies that aim to improve on what’s available in the market in terms of sustainability, but also deliver enhanced value to brands, mills and consumers. Through its innovations, Archroma strives to support its partners to produce apparel and textiles that are safer and more durable, produced more efficiently, and easier to recycle.

Stella McCartney, Marzotto Wool Manufacturing Srl, Fashion for Good and 13 other companies and organizations have joined the BioCircular Materials Alliance. Archroma is one of two dyes and chemical suppliers in the alliance.
