Yiğitoğlu & Ecopol Kimya to Revolutionize Sustainable Textile Dyeing with Livinguard Technologies

Yiğitoğlu and Ecopol Kimya, through a strategic partnership with Livinguard Technologies AG, aim to introduce Livinguard +DYE and Livinguard EFD technologies to Turkey, Central Asia, and North Africa, offering textile manufacturers in the region tangible economic and environmental benefits. Livinguard +DYE: Up to 50% Water Savings, Up to 60% Energy & CO₂ Reduction • Livinguard +DYE eliminates the need for conventional soaping and hot washing steps, drastically reducing the number of washes after dyeing. • This results in up to 50% less water and wastewater consumption, up to 60% less energy/steam use, and nearly 60% lower CO₂ emissions. • Thanks to streamlined process changes, productivity can increase by up to 40%, capacity by up to 30%, and operating costs can drop by up to 20% in dyestuff, chemical, and energy expenses. Livinguard EFD: Salt-Free Dyeing with Up to 50% Water & Energy Savings • Livinguard EFD binds covalently to fabric during pretreatment, enabling anionic reactive dyes to adhere without salt. • Since only neutralization and rinsing are needed after finishing, water and wastewater consumption can be reduced by up to 50%, with energy savings of up to 50% as well. • Productivity can increase by 40% and capacity by 30%, enabling economic transformation without the need for additional equipment investment. Sustainability That Preserves Quality and Reduces Costs • Both technologies operate at low temperatures, enhancing fiber durability while minimizing chemical waste and salt load. • Salt-free EFD and metal- & biocide-free +DYE formulations have straightforward global regulatory compliance, with simple traceability and verification processes. Market Activation & Roadmap Starting with the Performance Days Munich event, the promotional journey will be supported by field pilots and training programs to strengthen collaboration with local manufacturers. Within the first 12 months, the goal is to implement the technology in at least 15 major facilities, rapidly accelerating adoption.
