Rudolf Develops Textile Chemicals Made From Organic Waste
Producer of textile chemicals Rudolf is showing sustainable technologies using raw materials from organic waste, plastic waste and renewable feedstock at Kingpins Amsterdam.
“Rudolf’s latest textile chemistry has the potential to revolutionise the industry by significantly reducing its environmental impact,” the German company said in a press release.
“Rudolf’s evolutionary textile chemistry addresses the vexed problem of waste generation by reusing waste materials as valuable resources” said Alberto De Conti, head of Rudolf HUB1922 said.
“Diverting waste and renewable feedstock from landfills and incinerators into the production of textile chemicals significantly reduces the industry’s dependence on non-renewable resources and promotes a circular economy model,” De Conti added.
“The introduction of chemicals made from organic waste, plastic waste and renewable feedstocks requires effective communication and education, and this is where successful collaboration within the industry becomes critical,” Rudolf added.
“Collaboration between scientists, fashion designers and manufacturers can drive a move towards greener practices, making sustainable fashion the norm and minimizing the industry’s environmental footprint” De Conti observed.
“Our goal is to lift the curtain on some of the wonders that define Rudolf, change the way chemistry is viewed, present sustainability as a tangible topic, and create a modern environment for the development of real product innovation,” Rudolf said about its HUB1922 initiative.
