Description: DyeCoo has developed a process of dyeing cloth that uses no water at all and no chemicals other than the dyes themselves. It uses highly pressurized “supercritical” carbon dioxide, halfway between a liquid and a gas, that dissolves the dye and carries it deep into the fabric. The carbon dioxide then evaporates and is, in turn, recycled and used again. The cloth absorbs 98% of the dye, giving vibrant colors. And because the fabric doesn’t need to dry, the process takes half the time, uses less energy, and even costs less.

Best Practices: Reduced time, energy, and costs

Description: The collaborative supply chains allow the company to share knowledge and innovations, making optimizations at every step. It also helps to foster transparency and shared responsibility. By focusing on sustainable growth, putting ESG at the core of the company, and making people a cornerstone, the company can recycle and reuse glass endlessly.

Best Practices: Shared knowledge and innovation

Description: The Observatory aspires to be a point of reference and connection for the Packaging System community, aggregating and reworking knowledge, researching good practices in a predictive logic, and hybridizing design and research skills between universities, students, and companies to trigger and multiply innovation. How the Packaging Innovation Observatory works: - Builds a database of case studies to be compared to extract common dynamics and predictive elements - Observe the phenomena that lead to innovation in companies in the sector - Systematizes a process of hybridization of project skills between research, students, companies - Consolidates the network of stakeholders and enables greater connections between them in an integrated system logic.
