Textile companies worldwide are increasingly adopting technologies to boost sustainability, according to Andrew Peterson, president of FUZE Biotech. The theme for use of tech is always consistent—reduce costs, improve efficiency, and focus on a sustainable initiative that is customer and corporate driven.

Peterson added that automation and improved equipment is a key solution to reducing pollution and water waste while improving the end product. FUZE, a permanent, chemical-free technology that can be applied to any surface or textile to prevent and protect against harmful pathogens, mould, and infectious diseases, is quickly replacing chemicals that have been used in textiles for nearly 100 years with almost no change.

“FUZE is manufactured in ultra-pure water, shipped and stored in water, applied in water without any other chemical or binding agent necessary for use. It is extremely durable in wash testing at multiples higher than other products in the market. It does not create waste for remediation at application and more importantly it does not create a waste stream at home during laundry or a problem for municipal waste treatment plants,” Peterson told Fibre2Fashion in an exclusive interview.
