It is estimated that 20% of global water pollution comes from textile dyeing & finishing processes.

Water waste is endemic in chemistry and in textile manufacturing. On average, one pair of jeans consumes 1,800 gallons of fresh water to produce. This polluted water often then becomes chemical runoff contaminating waterways including freshwater sources and hurting marine life.

Soliyarn’s vaporized coating process drastically minimizes water usage and eliminates the use of toxic, carcinogenic chemicals, while being more effective at coating fabrics than traditional methods.

Soliyarn’s water-free proprietary technologies have the potential to dramatically reduce CO2 emissions by eliminating wastewater generation and subsequent treatment. Textile dyeing and finishing caused 72 billion cubic meters of wastewater pollution in 2019, which led to over 300 metric tons of CO2 emissions. By adopting Soliyarn’s dry treatment process, the industry could drastically reduce its carbon footprint.
