We have the solution to clean our rivers, oceans,
and lands from the colors of each season
70% LESS
WATER
The consumption of water represents less than one third of the habitual usage in traditional dyeing. What is even more remarkable is that water is constantly reused to dye multiple batches and colours, and finally utilized to water plants, which is full of minerals coming from the natural pigments.
90% LESS
ENERGY
We only consume a 10% of the energy that is needed in a conventional dyeing process. Moreover, we always prioritize the usage of green energy, that is generated from a natural resource, to lower as much as possible our energy consumption.
90% LESS
DYEING TIME
The significant difference of time between Greendyes® and the traditional dyeing process is not only highly remarkable due to the energy reduction that this implicates, but also to the leading and production times that are considerably reduced as well.
WITHOUT DATA THERE IS NO
TRUE TRANSPARENCY
These measurements, done by an external audit, compare the dyeing process of Greendyes® with a conventional dyeing procedure. Part of our mission is to be completely transparent and honest with our real consumption of resources. Here you can see exactly how much energy, water, and time we consume.
Let the numbers speak for themselves.
WITHOUT DATA THERE’S NO TRUE TRANSPARENCY
The Environmental Impact Measurements Score shows a very low value (16) regarding the garment dyeing process (values calculated by Jeanologia).
The water, time and energy savings values calculated for the Greendyes ® LCA show savings, in terms of garment dye of.

Ethical sourcing
We only work with suppliers who match all our environmental and social requirements. All raw materials – including dyes – undergo several tests before being accepted. The supplier companies must be environmentally and socially certified, and all the raw materials needed for the process undergo exhaustive analysis to verify that there is no cross-contamination from other materials.
