Minimalism isn’t just a runway trend—it’s also a goal for many companies looking to operate more efficiently, including those in the textile supply chain.

Archroma’s new InOneGO technology addresses this demand. The technology is a continuous dyeing process that combines coloration, fixation and softening into a single pad-dry application step.

The Swiss specialty chemicals company developed it for woven cellulosic textiles, including denim, apparel and home textiles.

“Achieving the washed-down look conventionally requires multiple washes, with extra water and energy needed at each stage. InOneGO is a genuine structural innovation. It delivers that same distressed character in a single step, with no trade-off in fastness—even after wash-down,” said Julio Perales, technical and product segment manager, Archroma Textile Effects.

The InOneGO process runs on Stenter and Thermosol lines. Archroma said performance finishes can be applied in a second step.

The technology is compatible with Archroma’s advanced sulfur dyestuffs, including the Diresul RDT range of pre-reduced low-sulfur liquid dyes and EarthColors and FiberColors biomass-based sulfur dyes. This gives mills and brands a lower-impact way to produce wash-down effects, without compromising fastness or shade range across earthy tones, deep blues and dark blacks.

Impact assessments using Archroma’s One Way Impact Calculator show environmental benefits when using InOneGO with Diresul RDT for woven fabrics like denim and jacquard. The tests included wash-down effect finishing, benchmarked against conventional cold pad-batch reactive dyeing with pigment top-dye finish.

The assessment found that InOneGO requires 81 percent less process time, 97 percent less water, 65 percent less energy and it produces 75 percent less CO2 emissions.

Portuguese home textile manufacturer Lameirinho is the first brand to launch products made with InOneGo. The brand’s bed linens collection is now available worldwide.

Jorge Leitão, Lameirinho’s innovation and development manager, emphasized how the technology helps reduce the company’s environmental impact without limiting creativity.

“This new InOneGO by Archroma process enables Lameirinho to achieve a wide range of shades and effects—including authentic indigo denim looks, wash-down effects and vintage-inspired finishes—bringing depth, character and a contemporary aesthetic to home textiles,” he said. “At the same time, it simplifies the dyeing process by reducing the number of processing steps and decreases resource consumption.”
