ERCA TCS, an independent business situated in Bergamo, Italy, and a member of the wider ERCA Group, is a worldwide leader in the provision of responsibly certified chemicals that are only targeted at the textile sector. These are entirely produced in Italy using a cutting-edge, fully certified production process that turns valuable and plentiful waste materials, like used vegetable oil, into a remarkable array of textile auxiliaries that can be utilized to process both virgin and recycled textile fibers.
The present product line of REVECOL® by ERCA TCS is already broad, easily adaptable, and a drop-in replacement for solutions used in the pre-treatment, dying, and finishing stages of textile production.
The CEO of ERCA TCS, Fabio Locatelli, says, “But if you can’t prove what you say, you are not credible and this is unacceptable for us.” And for this reason, a great deal of effort, skill, and time must be devoted to research and development. After all, at least six more months are needed to complete basic analyses like biodegradability and aquatic toxicity (which are done at specialized external centers) and obtain third-party certification, which verifies the accuracy of the measurements made for these products.
Some of the most renowned and exacting standards in the industry have already been tested and approved for REVECOL®. Important certifications including GOTS, GRS, RCS, ZDHC Chemical Gateway, and bluesign® are included in this.
Let’s examine the CO2 impact of REVECOL® by ERCA TCS products in more detail.
For some chemical products branded under the REVECOL® brand, ERCA TCS is developing a Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) with the assistance and analysis of the bluesign Academy. This certifies the decrease in CO2 emissions when compared to the use of conventional chemistry. According to the work’s initial findings, CO2 reductions can range from 30% to 72%.
