DyStar joins Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC)

DyStar is pleased to announce that it has joined the Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC), the collaborative venture established in 2011 by leading apparel retailers, suppliers and manufacturers with participation from academics and NGOs. The main objective of the SAC is to develop an Apparel Index which takes a full life-cycle view of an apparel product and identifies all major social and environmental impacts along the production chain from cradle to grave.

Dyes and chemicals are a key area of interest for the SAC as not only do they add significant value to the apparel in terms of color and performance but they can also have a major environmental impact at the wet processing stage of fabric production.

DyStar is the leading global supplier of dyes and chemicals to the textile industry and not only has a long history of action to reduce the environmental impact of the supply chain but also recently issued its first corporate Sustainability Report prepared according to GRI principles.
