why is AirDye® important?
Why for the world?
AirDye® technology, from Colorep®, Inc., a California-based sustainable technology company, is a solution our planet needs today and for many tomorrows.
AirDye® technology:
- Does not pollute water in the color application process. By using air instead of water to convey dye, no hazardous waste is emitted and no water wasted.
- Greatly reduces energy requirements, therefore lowering costs, and satisfying the strictest standards of global responsibility.
- Does not use boilers, screen printing machines, drying ovens, or cleaning and scouring chemicals, thereby eliminating major sources of pollution.
- Eliminates water in the color application step and simplifies the process, creating revolutionary possibilities of new industry and employment in unfarmable, arid regions of the world.
- Gives consumers a way to choose style and sustainability at a realistic price at the point of purchase, thereby initiating world change.
