Xefco is a sustainable manufacturing tech company. The textile industry is one of the world’s most polluting industries, with over 100 billion kilograms produced annually, the industry is responsible for large quantities of greenhouse gas emissions, effluent discharge and industrial waste. Dyeing and finishing processes used to impart colour and functional effects to textiles have the biggest environmental impacts of the entire textile supply chain and are responsible for approximately 20% of global water pollution and 3% of global carbon emissions. Xefco has developed a plasma based coating solution (commonly used in the semiconductor industry) that can be used at atmospheric conditions to coat the fabrics with the required colour. As a result, Xefco uses no water in the process and reduces energy needs by up to 90%.
