In this episode of The WTiN Podcast, we talk to Per Stenflo, one of the founding partners of Imogo. The company specialises in sustainable production processes, primarily in the textile dyeing industry.
Imogo was founded in 2018, when Stenflo and his partner, Joacim Wellander, were approached about an idea for the technology from The Swedish School of Textiles. The plan is that the process will, when implemented, dramatically reduce the wasteful use of water, chemistry and energy in the textile dyeing process.

In this podcast, Stenflo talks about the products that are currently being developed, and how the company plans to start marketing these later on this year and in 2021. He explains more about the capabilities of the machines and the savings that can be made thanks to the precise application of the dye dispersion. This translates to a reduced required volume to be applied, and the low volume gives tremendous savings in water, dye, chemistry and waste water. Fixation of the dye can be performed with drastically reduced energy consumption as well due to the low amount of liquid needed to be heated.

Elsewhere, Stenflo explains more about the first steps for the company and being involved in this year’s Fashion for Good Accelerator programme, which of course is now being organised virtually. He says that being accepted onto the programme is proof that the industry wants change.
