REVECOL® range by ERCA Textile Chemical Solutions paves the way of responsible textile production for a new generation of chemical auxiliaries. Thanks to a 100% made in Italy, highly technological, pioneering and end-to-end certified production process, REVECOL® transforms critical waste materials (in this case, used vegetable oils) into a complete range of innovative and responsible chemical auxiliaries designed for the entire textile industry and its various applications.
The company states that conveying the values of the new generation REVECOL® chemicals to the public – from customers within the textile production chain to final consumers – is not an easy task, explaining: “Even more so if we then add the ‘many’ unique characteristics defining REVECOL® such as circularity, safety, high performance, competitiveness and its ability to be used on any type of textile fibre, both virgin and recycled… we are clearly facing a challenge.”
For this reason, the brand has chosen to present itself through an image that makes immediate not only the idea of responsible innovation in the REVECOL® range of products, but one that also shows its values, representing them as ‘bricks’ which together and in combination constitute the uniqueness of this range. The new image captures the essence of responsible innovation: each shade in the vibrant colour composition tells a story about the company’s commitment to making a positive impact on the environment and on society.
Everything is guaranteed by end-to-end certifications
Chemical auxiliaries play a crucial role in different phases of the textile production cycle, but at the same time they represent a complex challenge in terms of reducing environmental impact. The bottom blocks in the image represent specific choices made by ERCA TCS: the use of recycled materials, the vocation for circularity, competitiveness in the market. Attention to safety is built on this foundation, and it is combined with exceptional performance, as well as the ability to use the range of chemical auxiliaries on all textile fibers. Everything is then guaranteed by end-to-end certifications. It is this combination of values and features that bring solutions to the textile market, solutions that mark a real revolution in the name of circularity.
18 new generation chemical auxiliaries in REVECOL range
The REVECOL® by ERCA TCS range now includes 18 new generation chemical auxiliaries. For all of them, thanks to its unique and innovative characteristics, REVECOL® has obtained the most important certifications: GRS, RCS, ZDHC Chemical Gateway, bluesign® and GOTS. In particular, with the support and analysis of bluesign® Academy, it is creating, where possible, the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) for some REVECOL® products, certifying the reduction of CO2 emissions compared to the use of conventional chemistry. In addition, this solution has earned ERCA the prestigious European Responsible Care® Award 2023, awarded by Cefic-the European Chemical Industry Council, the largest European chemical industry association, founded in 1972.
