Can we have cotton bed linen that feels fresh day after day, and looks good straight out of the washing machine?

WE LOVE:

  • Crisp and fresh bed linen
  • Enjoying our time doing things we like rather than ironing

BUT DID YOU KNOW:

  • … Most easy-to-iron effects require a resin application that often contains formaldehyde, which may cause cancer *
  • … and most anti-odor agents can content biocides, which reduce the living organisms** even the ones we need in our environment

The Archroma Way to a Sustainable World: Safe, Efficient, Enhanced. It’s our nature.

1. SAFE – IT’S OUR NATURE TO PROTECT
A solid core: Our deeply rooted goal to protect people and our planet.

2. EFFICIENT – IT’S OUR NATURE TO RETHINK SUSTAINABLE MANUFACTURING
Innovating application processes that minimize resources and maximize productivity, both in our and our customers’ manufacturing as well as by setting ourselves ambitious sustainability goals.

3. ENHANCED – IT’S OUR NATURE TO ADD ANOTHER LEVEL OF VALUE
Innovation is critical. With it, we create additional effects, functionalities and aesthetics and sustainable differentiation to bring additional value, helping consumers to achieve their goals, for a life enhanced.
