Indario: Less impact, more innovation

In an industry increasingly driven by sustainability, modernization, and versatility, the commitment of leading companies to introducing innovative solutions that truly make a difference is evident.

One such example is Indario, a groundbreaking dyeing process developed by Riopele, offering an eco-friendly alternative to the traditional methods used in denim production.

A more sustainable approach to the denim look? Yes, it’s possible.

Committed to contributing to a more sustainable future in fashion, Riopele, in partnership with Archroma, has developed a solution that combines technology, environmental responsibility, and high performance. The results speak for themselves: Indario uses 67% less water, 35% less energy, 15% fewer chemicals, and generates 40% less CO2 compared to conventional denim processes.

 In addition to complying with the strict criteria of the ZDHC program, Indario reinforces Riopele’s position as a reference in the development of responsible and innovative textile solutions.

Fashion driven by innovation

According to Ângela Teles, Sustainable Product and Innovation Projects Manager at Riopele: “This solution has already gained traction in international markets, with strong uptake in countries like Sweden and Finland — both known for their commitment to sustainability — as well as in Germany, France, and Spain, reflecting a growing global concern for more responsible practices.”

With Indario, Riopele not only strengthens its position as a pioneer in sustainable innovation but also redefines the future of the denim look: “In recent years, we’ve heavily invested in R&D and in the various departments that support this activity, always guided by a deep commitment to environmental responsibility and innovation. At the same time, we place great emphasis on the aesthetic dimension of our products, ensuring they meet the demands of even the most discerning clients,” she concludes.
