Beskrivelse
The dyeing of denim traditionally relies on various harsh chemicals and causes significant environmental pollution. However, researchers in Denmark are aiming to change that through an innovative new dyeing method. The groundbreaking technique uses an aqueous solution of indican and near UV light to transform the compound indican into indigo directly on the yarn.
To advance this novel discovery, Katrine Qvortrup, Associate Professor at DTU Chemistry, and Senior Researcher Carsten Dam-Hansen from DTU Electro, have been awarded a Distinguished Innovator Grant.
