General information
- Short Summary
- UK-based company pioneering digital waterless textile dyeing technology is seeking investors and partners to scale its dye engine, supply system, and patented water reactor. Integration of its products into production lines will enable 100% water savings, 90% less energy and labour, and 30–50% less chemical use. Ideal for dye houses and fashion brands driving sustainable innovation.
- Full Description
-
Founded in October 2023 by two co-founders with extensive experience in textile dyeing, this UK-based company is dedicated to revolutionizing the industry by introducing true digital, waterless dyeing technology—delivered at industrial speeds with exceptional reliability.
The textile industry is the second-largest global polluter, responsible for approximately 10% of CO₂ emissions. Fabric dyeing alone contributes around 3% of these emissions. Traditional dyeing methods are wasteful, environmentally harmful, and reliant on water- and energy-intensive processes. Up to 200 litres of mostly hot clean water are used to dye just 1 kg of fabric—water that becomes contaminated with synthetic dyes and chemicals. These pollutants are largely resistant to treatment, leading to bioaccumulation, ecosystem damage, and risks of toxicity, mutagenicity, and carcinogenicity.
Compounding this, approximately 85% of fashion items are incinerated or sent to landfill—driven by overproduction and rigid batch requirements needed to justify traditional dyeing costs. Off-cut fabric between garment patterns, already dyed and chemically treated, is uneconomical to recycle and is also discarded.
The company has developed a breakthrough sustainable dyeing technology that addresses these critical challenges:
- Waterless dyeing with 100% water reuse and zero discharge
- 90% energy reduction
- True digital dyeing, enabling on-demand, make-to-order production
- Dye-to-shape capability, allowing for minimal fabric waste and easy recycling of undyed offcuts
- Rapid colour changes—in minutes rather than hours
Their proprietary Advanced Water Reactor ensures complete removal of dyes and chemicals from water, making it reusable and eliminating contamination of sewers and waterways.
By reducing batch sizes from thousands of metres to tens of metres, their system empowers the industry to move toward short runs and on-demand production—dramatically reducing waste, cost, and environmental impact.
Their technology offers a unique opportunity to disrupt the status quo—reducing costs, improving sustainability, and enabling creative production models previously considered impossible.
They are actively seeking investment and strategic partnerships with financial investors aligned with sustainable innovation; dye houses looking to modernize operations; fashion brands eager to enhance environmental credentials and unlock new production capabilities.
The key international markets that they are targeting are the UK, mainland Europe and Turkey. - Advantages and Innovations
-
100% less water use, replacing the cost for 150-200 litres/kg of mostly hot water used in traditional processes.
90% less energy required in the dyeing process due to the digital application of dye.
Zero contaminated effluent discharge. All water will be processed by the patented Advanced Water Reactor and re-used.
The patented Advanced Water Reactor can be used for traditional dyeing process and factory end of pipe. The audience is much wider than just the dyeing industry.
30-50 less chemical usage as digital deposition applies the exact amount of chemical for the fabric. It does not oversaturate as per traditional methods.
Colour change in minutes not hours. Traditional ink delivery systems cannot change colour quickly or effectively. As they are designed for one colour contamination from the previous colour is a constant problem.
Digital mixing of colours via our Advanced Colour kitchen. Dye colour swatches are digitised for colour and digital dyes are automatically dosed from standard industry colours to generate the required colour.
50-90% reduction in labour as traditional processes are labour intensive. - Stage of Development

Partner Sought
- Expected Role of a Partner
- The partners should either be financial investors; dye houses or fashion brands wishing to reduce cost and improve their environmental credentials. As the technology will enable partners to produce garments in a way not previously possible it is likely that new partners will be innovative, happy to be ‘early adopters’ and comfortable working with a new technology.
