Eco Dyed & Eco Pigment Print

What are eco dyes/eco pigments?

Eco dyes Be Be Cotton applied could significantly save water and energy consumption by 50% and more, as well as carbon dioxide emissions during the dyeing and washing-off process. They are regulated in the safe lists of GOTS 3.0 standard. Compared to traditional dyestuff printing, Eco pigments Be Be Cotton used are under the regulation of REACH, and completely eliminate two processes of steaming and washing. Because of saving energy and water, Be Be Cotton once again reach the vision of reducing pollution and protecting our environment.

Why does Be Be Cotton choose Eco Dyeing/Eco Pigment Printing?

The announcement from World Health Organization (WHO):
(1)More than one in six people worldwide–894 million,don't have access to improved water sources.
(2)Every 20 seconds, a child dies from a water-related disease. That is 1.5million preventable deaths each year.
(3)More than 6,000 children die each day globally, mostly under the age of 5, from diarrheal diseases caused by unsafe water and lack of basic sanitation facilities.
(4)More than 200 million hours of women's time is consumed collecting water for domestic use.
(5)More than 80% of sewage in developing countries are discharged untreated, further polluting scarce water sources.

Due to the lack of clean water resource, it is necessary that Be Be Cotton must involve in the development of eco dyeing or eco pigment priting.

Benefits
(1)Since the temperatures never exceed 60℃ and the number of rinsing baths is greatly reduced, the process of eco dyeing can save more than 50 % of water, energy and time.
(2)The use of eco dyeing can reduce water consumption by 50 % meaning that only 15 to 20 liters of water are required to dye 1 kg of cotton.
(3)With 5 % or less unfixed dye to be removed instead of the usual 15 % to 30 %, the washing-off process can be significantly cut off and requires only a small portion of the water and energy.
(4)With no need for the processes of steaming and washing, fabrics with eco pigment printing provide a smooth hand feeling & good fastness.
