Established in 2023, Re-Matters was created in response to mounting global environmental concerns and the rising need for sustainable textile solutions. Leveraging over 40 years of experience from their parent company, Ereks Blue Matters, Re-Matters offers engineering and consultancy services to the textile supply chain in assisting organisations in minimising their environmental footprint through tailored solutions that emphasise reduction, reuse, recycling, and regeneration.

"We are excited to partner with Colourizd, whose innovative dyeing technology aligns perfectly with our mission to promote a circular textile economy," said Romain Narcy, CEO of Re-Matters. "With the current state of the world, taking action towards sustainability is not just an option, it's a necessity."

Advantages of the technology

Colourizd innovative QuantumColour technology enables the colouring of recycled materials without the need for bleaching or colour removal. This technology preserves the integrity of the fibers and enhances yarn properties, such as strength, reduced pilling, and decreased hairiness. The process uses just 1 liter of water per kilogram of yarn and produces zero wastewater, making it an ideal solution for companies looking to improve their sustainability profile.

"Our partnership with Re-Matters is a perfect match, bringing together two forward-thinking companies dedicated to sustainability," said Jennifer Thompson, CEO of Colourizd. "By integrating Colourizd's technology with Re-Matters' focus on circular value streams, we can offer textile manufacturers a sustainable solution that reduces environmental impact and enhances the performance and quality of their products."

Re-Matters and Colourizd will exhibit at the upcoming Textile Exchange Conference, The Case for Change, which will take place in Pasadena, CA, USA, from October 28 to 31, 2024. This year's theme, The Case for Change, will explore how integrating best practices for climate and nature into business operations can build resilience for the future. Both companies will showcase their innovative solutions and discuss their collaborative efforts to promote a more sustainable textile industry.
