A new collection of sustainable knitted interlinings has been unveiled by Apparel interlinings manufacturer Chargeurs PCC, which is branded the ZeroWater Rainbow Collection.
It is produced in France and its range of ultralight inner components is available in 15 colors, besides white, natural, and off-white. All are dyed through a special waterless process that minimizes environmental impact.
The ZeroWater Rainbow Collection offers the lightest interlinings for couturiers and luxury brands that use the most luxurious and lightweight fabrics to create garments. These interlinings suit the delicate and sheer items that require silky, soft interlinings, capable of providing flexible structure, durability, and adhesion. These interlinings remain nearly invisible and do not detract from the color of the outer fabric.
The ZeroWater Rainbow Collection is available in a wide range of sustainable colors that ensure the designers create drapes perfectly and wear them well. There is no perceptible difference in the color of materials used to construct different layers of garments.
The traditional dyeing processes in vogue in the fashion industry use a lot of water and pollute some of the fashion production processes. The UN has found that textile dyeing is the second-largest water pollution source in the world. The sad part is that most of the polluted water is thrown into water channels without treatment. The chemicals in the dyes can harm human beings, animals, and plants. An official of the company said the Zero-Water Rainbow Collection of sustainable interlinings offers the flexibility and improved adhesion the world’s top couturiers demand in a wide range of colors to match nearly any fabric.
Chargeurs PCC has designed and engineered a proprietary waterless dyeing process that involves dyeing the adhesive material used in interlinings rather than the fabric itself. The ZeroWater Rainbow Collection is manufactured at Chargeurs’ century-old, fully integrated Lainière de Picardie factory outside Paris, under the supervision of the company’s textile and chemical experts.
