Purista's eco-benefits for textiles



Research by Arch Chemicals reveals that treating textiles with Purista enables consumers to reduce their eco-footprint and benefit from significant cost savings with less frequent laundering. Arch Chemicals, which manufactures Purista freshness treatments, commissioned Dr Richard Blackburn at the University of Leeds to investigate the energy, water and detergent savings over the lifecycle of a towel that arise from being able to wash it less often. Purista treatment added during the textile’s manufacture inhibits the growth of odour-causing bacteria, keeping textiles fresher for longer, giving consumers the option to wash the textile less often.
