Interest in creating a sustainable textile industry is growing. At Colorep and Transprint we work with designers and manufacturers serving a variety of markets: from hospitality to health care to fashion. More and more often we’re hearing that these companies are examining the impact of their products cradle-to-cradle and looking for creative solutions to reduce waste, green house gases, and water use.

While we have a suite of solutions around eliminating water and reducing energy demands during the dye process, there are many other opportunities to “green” the textile industry along the entire supply chain.

To bring more people into the conversation and be able to help our customers and colleagues broaden their professional network, we’ve started the LinkedIn Sustainable Textiles group. Membership is growing nicely and has attracted people from the across the U.S., Canada, India, and Pakistan.

The Sustainable Textiles group will quickly become a valuable resource as members post relevant news, ask questions, engage in conversation, even post jobs–all with building a more sustainable textile industry in mind.

Certainly you have something to contribute. Won’t you join us?
