Mill Improvement Project

We set up key performance indicators with textile mills to track the performance in the areas of desired improvement.

The table below shows the actual results:

The majority of these reductions were achieved within the first two months!

Mill Key Performance Indicator% Reduction (within 9 months)

Water Consumption (Liter/Kg of Fabric) -25%Redyeing (%) -23%Centre to Selvedge problem (%) -80%Waste Production (metric tons) -46%

Note: Actual results from a CPB dye-house producing 1,500,000 meters of fabric per month production of cellulosic material


RSL Development Project

DyStar has released several recommendations for Brands & Retailers, Industry organizations and specific product groups, to support sustainable textile production that is meeting quality and eco-requirements


Chemical Management Improvement Project

We performed an assessment on identified textile mills and their level of compliance to a specific Brand RSL to identify current status and areas of desired improvement.
