Up to 26 gallons (100 liters) of water is needed to dye just two pounds (one kilogram) of cotton fabric. With AVITERA™ SE, water usage is reduced to just three to five gallons (15 to 20 liters) per two pounds of material. With the new dyeing technology, one quart (1.3 liters) of fresh water per person per day could potentially be saved in the major Asian textile processing countries such as China, India and Bangladesh.
