Summary

Currently, there is a global focus on reducing CO2 emissions by 50% within the next seven years. The textile dyeing and finishing industries are faced with the challenges of achieving this goal by significantly reducing the consumption of resources such as water, dyes, chemicals and energy, while maintaining product quality. As a responsible provider of German technology, WEKO and Rota Spray are continuously working on development and implementation of various solutions for textile dyeing and finishing. These solutions involve high-precision and non-contact minimum application systems for a wide range of fluids. The key advantages of these solutions include improved economic efficiency, enhanced reproducibility, and a step towards establishing carbon-reduced processes for textile dyeing and finishing.
