Definition

DyStar® is one of the world's leading manufacturers of dyes and chemical auxiliaries for the textile industry. Its presence on a product page indicates that dyeing was carried out with certified low-impact dyes, conforming to rigorous standards such as OEKO-TEX®, GOTS and the ZDHC protocol (Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals).

Dyeing is one of the most polluting processes in the textile industry (estimated to account for 6 of the 9 trillion litres of water used annually by the sector). DyStar addresses this with ranges of high-fixation fibre-reactive dyes (less waste in the dye bath), formulations free of carcinogenic aromatic amines, and the econfidence® programme for ecological traceability throughout the supply chain. Across garments and textile accessories, the use of DyStar® dyes ensures a stable, vivid colour range with verifiable sustainability claims, particularly for denim products and garment-dyed cotton pieces.
