Discover the key raw materials to formulate textile and leather in 2025-26 for the megatrend Efficiency

Efficiency covers formulation trends aimed at reducing extra steps or materials and increasing productivity — reducing weight, temperature curing, formulation costs, faster product processes, curing speed and return to service, saving energy, and utilising higher film thickness and fewer layers.

Focus: Amylase and Cellulase

They are enzymes used in many textile applications. Amylase reduces water consumption, while cellulase improves the comfort of clothes. Research is developing enzymes to recycle end-of-life garments that currently go into landfills.
