Israeli Start-Up Aims to Create Digital Revolution In The Textile Industry

An estimated 17% to 20% of global industrial water pollution results from dyeing and treating fabrics, with toxins from many of the 8,000 synthetic chemicals used for our clothes contaminating the world’s vital waterways.

Global fiber and fabric production, powered by the Asia-Pacific region and notably textile powerhouse China, can use as much as 200 tons of water to dye just one ton of fabric for the apparel industry – enough for only 1,400 pieces of clothing.

Driven by issues of environmental sustainability and material waste, Israeli digital dyeing start-up Twine Solutions is aiming to transform the mammoth global textile industry from its very foundations: the simple thread.
