“DyeCoo's new process has the potential to significantly lower the environmental impact of dyeing. The elimination of process-water and chemicals are a breakthrough for the textile dyeing industry. Combine that with the reduction in energy use, and the process is twice as fast.
The technology can also improve the quality of the dyed fabric, allows for greater control over the dyeing process, enabling new dye capabilities and transforming fabric dyeing so that it can take place just about anywhere,” says Dr. Andrew H. Dent, VP Materials Research at Material ConneXion.
“We chose DyeCoo as the winner of this year's award because it embodies the direction that materials and processes are taking: sustainability and high performance.”
“DyeCoo is honored to accept the Medium award,” says Reinier Mommaal, CEO of DyeCoo. “We hope more industry leaders will join us in leveraging this innovative technology in the near future,” he added. DyeCoo Textile Systems B.V. was founded in March 2008 and is the world's first supplier of industrial CO2 dyeing equipment and is a leading innovator in CO2 dyeing technology and processes. DyeCoo Textile Systems B.V. is a spin-off of the Dutch Feyecon Group, an innovator in the field of CO2 process technology.
The ten materials and processes are handpicked according to the far reaching results they can achieve and to Material ConneXion's innovation parameters which include: being a new process, an advancement to an existing material or process, technology transfer and sustainability.
Significant advances in sustainable material innovation can be seen in materials such as Arnitelz Eco which uses an alternative source for plastic and rubber products that can now be manufactured from rapeseed oil and harvested industrial oil.
With equivalent properties to existing nylon-based plastics and rubbers, it has a lower carbon footprint and reduces reliance on oil. Other honorable mentions, such as Eastman Chemical Company's Perennial Wood, are recognized for increasing construction capabilities, improving performance, and lowering costs in a wide range of applications–from furniture to buildings and structures–all while lowering toxicity and increasing sustainability.
Cutting-edge processes such as DyeCoo's and PURETi are recognized for their significant contribution to the environment. PURETi, a photo catalytic coating based on TiO2 that offers an effective self-cleaning surface, reduces cleaning maintenance costs by 50% and reduces water and energy consumption, chemicals and labor.
“The Medium award for Material of the Year is an opportunity to celebrate the extraordinary breadth and scope of material and process innovation today,” says Adam I. Sandow, CEO of Sandow Media, the parent company of Material ConneXion. “The winner is distinguished not only for its technical innovation, but for its capacity to make a lasting impact on the environment.”
