DyeRecycle's unique technology gives dyes and colours a second chance using green chemistry. It enables circularity in the fashion and textile industry by solving two of the greatest challenges facing the industry: dye pollution and textile waste. The service life of dyestuff is extended to colour a new garment, while high-quality dye-free textile fibers are similarly recovered.
The spinout has received a number of awards and accolades and funding including the 2023 Global Change Award from the H&M Foundation and is well set for making a major contribution to sustainability of the sector. In 2024 they received $1.2 million in pre-seed funding and $1 million in equity-free match funding from Innovate UK and won the IChemE Global Awards - Sustainability.
The company has featured on Vogue Business. Garments produced by top designers with its technology featured on catwalks at Pitti Uomo in Florence and London Fashion Week in 2025.
