Industry's Move Towards Sustainability

Environmental sustainability is the concept of humans existing in parallel with ecosystems, replacing what is used on a consistent and continual basis without compromise to future generations or economic development.

Recognizing that the earth is made up of finite resources, companies have made great efforts to reduce, reuse or recycle goods consumed during manufacturing and distribution activities. Social responsibility and environmental protection efforts have even prompted some companies to adopt sustainable enterprise strategies.

HueMetrix's Environmental Strategy Support

The HueMetrix team is dedicated to supporting the environmental sustainability efforts of textile industry companies. HueMetrix products and services enable process design and productivity improvements in textile dyeing activities. Textile industry leaders like Cotton Incorporated and Interface Fabrics have partnered with HueMetrix to bolster their companies' efforts at reducing pressures on the environment and increasing economic benefit.

The HueMetrix Dye-It-Right Monitor enables dyers to achieve:

  • Reduction of color/dye chemicals in wastewater due to dye process optimization.
  • Reduction in salt and alkali in wastewater, thereby reducing wastewater TDS (total dissolved solids), pH/alkalinity, and aquatic toxicity.
  • Reduction in volume of wastewater through wash process optimization.
  • Reduction in BOD (biological oxygen demand), COD (chemical oxygen demand), and SS (suspended solids) due to reduction in chemical use.
  • Improved treat-ability of wastewater from dyeing operation
HueMetrix uses dyes and chemicals that meet national and international environmental and human ecology requirements and regulations, including Oeko-Tex Standard 100's Restricted Substances List. .....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
