Triarchy has debuted a new denim collection featuring its proprietary WTRLSS digital dyeing technology. This process allows for the production of clothing while using drastically fewer resources compared to traditional manufacturing.
Why it matters
The shift aims to eliminate harsh chemicals and excessive water usage inherent in standard denim dyeing. By moving toward this digital process, the brand seeks to overhaul the environmental footprint of global denim production.
WTRLSS technology requires only two tablespoons of water per garment, compared to the 75 liters traditionally needed for dyeing and finishing a pair of jeans. The current collection consists of five pieces across three colorways.
The players
Triarchy
An apparel company focused on sustainable denim production that previously halted operations before relaunching in 2018.
Ha-Meem Group
A manufacturing firm based in Bangladesh that partnered with Triarchy for the commercial pilot of the digital dyeing technology.
The details
The WTRLSS process uses a machine powered by proprietary software to bond color directly into the fiber in a single pass. Wash styles are digitally designed and dyed onto flat pattern pieces before they are cut, eliminating the need for conventional water-heavy finishing techniques.

Consumers can expect to see these sustainable denim pieces hit the market as the brand expands its collection. The transition to this digital dyeing process may eventually lead to wider availability of environmentally conscious denim options in retail stores.
The takeaway
The move toward digital dyeing demonstrates that significant resource savings are possible through technological innovation. Shoppers interested in sustainable apparel can monitor the brand's production transition as they scale this technology beyond their initial collection.
