Ten Archroma product groups have now achieved Cradle to Cradle (C2C) Certified Material Health Gold level, representing dozens of Archroma brands and approximately 200 individual products.

The certifications are an assurance of safety and sustainability under the world’s leading multi-attribute standard and mean that textile mills and fashion brands can confidently use these products to help achieve C2C certification on their finished fabrics and garments.

The C2C Material Health standard evaluates the chemical composition of products for safety to humans and the environment. This provides the foundation for circularity because safe chemicals are essential for safe recycling and composting.

“Our goal is to exceed industry standards and help lead the shift to cleaner chemistries and a more sustainable world,” said the company’s global VP Dhirendra Gautam. “The C2C label is becoming increasingly significant at the brand and mill level. We believe in transparency and supporting our partners to make informed decisions that not only prioritise human health and the environment, but also bring production resource savings and improve the durability of end products.”

Archroma’s Super Systems+ solutions allow industry professionals to combine processing solutions and intelligent effects for specific end uses while delivering measurable environmental impact. C2C-certified Archroma products will generally be found within the Impact and Impact+ categories.

Archroma’s C2C Certified product portfolio spans reactive, acid, disperse, indigo and sulphur dyes,  a full series of chemical products such as pretreatment and sizing, optical brightening agents, dyeing auxiliaries and flame retardants. It also includes Diresul Evolution Black, the most sustainable sulphur black on the market, Avitera SE, a resource-saving reactive dye range and the Blue Magic pretreatment range of products.
