##### ACCELERATING THE RATE OF CLIMATE INNOVATION BY:

Replacing water as a textile dyeing medium with supercritical CO₂ to make textile dyeing sustainable at scale.

[Industry](https://www.third-derivative.org/portfolio/tag/industry) [Future Industries Partnership](https://www.third-derivative.org/portfolio/tag/future-industries-partnership) [Cohort 26-3](https://www.third-derivative.org/portfolio/tag/cohort-26-3)

##### PROBLEM FOCUS

Textile dyeing consumes about 500 billion liters of fresh water every year and accounts for 20% of global industrial water pollution. The heat required for traditional textile dyeing also generates up to 4 kg CO₂e per kg of fabric.

##### TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION

SUPRAUNO®, developed by Deven Supercriticals, is a globally patented technology that uses supercritical CO₂ instead of water to dye and finish textiles. This is the first technology to enable waterless dyeing with conventional dyes and trichrome recipes across natural and synthetic fabrics, including cotton, polyester, nylon, viscose, linen, wool, acrylic, and blends. It cuts water use by 77%, chemicals by 90%, and energy by 70%, with the first commercial plant running at Arvind Limited.
