The single dyeing process used to produce the fabric
"We need people to come on board and help us make larger quantities and help us get them commercialised, so we're looking for people to partner with to take these fabric technologies to market."
The single dyeing process used to produce the fabric is applicable to a wide range of fabrics, fabric weights and gauges. Aside from the environmental and cost benefits, the dying process also creates a special appearance effect.Other innovations include a fabric with an antibacterial finish that also has an anti-odour effect. "It's a special finish.
It won't leach out of the fabric, so these sorts of finishes that allow you to have anti-odour effect mean the garments made from these fabrics don't have to be washed as often so there's an environmental benefit there," Dr Collie said.
