Bio-FREED™ Fast Resource Efficient Enhancing Dyeing powered by Bio-Alloy™ delivers to the textile industry a greener one-step dyeing system that is a drop-in to replace the commonly used three-step dyeing process. Bio-FREED™ is a one-step continuous dyeing process that reduces water use by up to 95%, dye usage by up to 80% and decreases energy use by approximately 67%. Water reduction is achieved by eliminating two of the three water-intense steps, whereas the 80% dye usage reduction is achieved through precision delivery of the dyes to the fiber surface in the textile. Similarly, eliminating two energy-intensive steps decreases energy usage by approximately 67%. Bio-FREED™ treated textiles can also be pre-dyed or post-dyed further enabling additional environmental and supply chain benefits.
The Bio-FREED™ process is unique because it also increases production efficiency while improving polyester fibers’ resistance to color migration. Furthermore, It also offers a greater reduction in water and energy use relative to the ECOFAST Pure technology claims.

About EPA’s Green Chemistry Challenge Awards:
Since the inception of the awards more than a quarter century ago, EPA and the American Chemical Society, which co-sponsor the awards, have received more than 1,800 nominations and presented awards to 133 technologies that decrease hazardous chemicals and resources, reduce costs, protect public health, and spur economic growth. Winning technologies are responsible for annually reducing the use or generation of hundreds of millions of pounds of hazardous chemicals and saving billions of gallons of water and trillions of British thermal units (BTUs) in energy.
