January 31, 2025 |

In France, Arkema, a specialist in specialty materials, has launched its new range ENCOR bio-based waterborne dispersions designed for textile printing and finishing applications. 

These binders, with up to 30% bio-based content, and up to 40% carbon footprint reduction compared to traditional textile resins, are supporting the textile industry’s efforts to decrease their product’s carbon footprint, supporting a more sustainable lifestyle, the company said.

“The textile value chain being responsible for 6 to 8% of the worldwide emissions, with an increasing demand, there is an important need to transform and reduce the carbon footprint of the sector. Bio-based solutions set the stage for the next generation of more sustainable textile products, supporting our customers to achieve their sustainability and carbon reduction goals”, said Helene Pernot, Global Sustainability Marketing Director at Arkema.
