Faced with increasingly severe environmental challenges, the global dye industry is undergoing a profound green revolution. Multiple enterprises have announced increased investments in environmental protection technologies, aiming to achieve low-carbon production throughout the entire manufacturing process by 2026.

Wave of Technological Upgrades
An industry leader has invested in the construction of a zero-emission factory, employing membrane separation technology to recover dye intermediates from wastewater with a recovery rate of 98%, while reducing wastewater treatment costs by 40%. Another enterprise has developed catalytic oxidation technology capable of completely decomposing organic pollutants in wastewater, with effluent quality meeting drinking water standards. According to statistics, industry-wide environmental protection investments increased by 65% in the first three quarters of 2025, but small and medium-sized enterprises still face dual challenges of funding and technology.

Green Product Certification Becomes a Competitive Focus
Multiple enterprises have launched bio-based dyes that have obtained international authoritative certifications. Derived from renewable plant resources, these dyes have a carbon footprint 70% lower than traditional products. A low-temperature dyeing auxiliary developed by an enterprise can reduce dyeing temperatures by 20°C and energy consumption by 30%, and has secured purchase orders from major global textile brands. The industry predicts that the market size for green dyes will exceed 10 billion yuan by 2026, with a compound annual growth rate of 25%.

Exploration of Circular Economy Models
Some enterprises are beginning to build a closed-loop system of "dye-recovery-regeneration." By collaborating with downstream printing and dyeing enterprises, they recover waste dyes for regeneration, forming a resource recycling system. A pilot project has shown that regenerated dyes perform comparably to new products but at 20% lower costs. If widely promoted, this model could fundamentally transform the industry ecosystem.
