Recognition for Roica V550 stretch yarn
The stretch yarn is able to break down without releasing harmful substances into the environment at end of life.
8th April 2021
Senken Shimbun, the Japanese daily fashion newspaper, for its Roica V550 stretch yarn.
Roica V550 is a significant development, having achieved a Gold Material Health Certificate from Cradle-to-Cradle Product Innovation Institute, as well as Hohenstein Environment Compatibility Certification, proving it is able to break down without releasing harmful substances into the environment at end of life.
The benefits of stretch in garments are indisputable, but the inclusion of just 1% of elastane fibre in an otherwise all-cotton t-shirt, for example, is said to be currently sufficient to see it rejected at the recycling sorting plant.

Room temperature improvements with the Pad-Ox G2 Cold
New method applies the Pad-Ox at room temperature, while improving fastnesses and allowing higher contrasts after washdown.
16th March 2021
Pad-Ox G2 Cold is a new water-saving room temperature dyeing process for achieving casual looks, jointly developed by Archroma and Jeanologia.
Speciality chemicals leader Archroma, of Reinach, Switzerland, initially introduced its eco-advanced Pad-Ox dyeing process for woven fabrics, and then used it as part of its Advanced Denim concept. The idea was fairly simple but highly effective – by combining the oxidation and fixation steps, it is possible to shorten the dyeing process and realise substantial resource savings in water, wastewater, cotton waste, and energy.
