DyStar has announced that it has resigned from Ecological and Toxicological Association of Dyes and Organic Pigments Manufacturers (ETAD) and has joined TEGEWA as a member since January 2020. DyStar, which is committed to sustainability, is a leading specialty chemical company with a heritage of more than a century in product development and innovation.
Despite being one of the major sponsors and supporters of ETAD for many years, DyStar had to make this decision in response to the new industry challenges. The executive decision to leave ETAD and join TEGEWA was made after careful considerations during the company’s periodical reviews and business alignment sessions on current global business needs, market demands and customers’ requirements. It concluded the immediate need to work with an organisation that can better represent and effectively support the chemical industry in a fast and challenging environment, and at the same time, provide essential support to the textile chemical producers, the brands and retailers, among other stakeholders in the worldwide supply chain, the company said in a media statement.DyStar has announced that it has resigned from Ecological and Toxicological Association of Dyes and Organic Pigments Manufacturers (ETAD) and has joined TEGEWA as a member since January 2020.
