In today’s increasingly hygiene-conscious world, antimicrobial additive solutions enable businesses to adapt their products to evolving consumer attitudes and needs. Crucially, additive technologies allow manufacturers to integrate antimicrobial protection into almost any material, ranging from hard surfaces like plastic and paper to paints, coatings and textiles. Consequently, antimicrobial technology is having a significant impact on a diverse array of products and industries. To illustrate just how wide-reaching and broad the potential applications are, we’ve highlighted 15 real-life antimicrobial agent examples and use cases from across several commercial sectors to examine in greater detail.
At Polygiene, we believe technological innovation can help us create a better world. We recognize that the textile industry must transition to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly approach. But we also want it to thrive. Crucially, new technologies enable the textile sector to do both.
As our understanding of the global environmental crisis grows, it has become increasingly clear that there is a significant need for change in the way we produce and consume products. While textiles is by no means the only industry contributing to environmental degradation and the climate crisis, it is one of the worst offenders. Research suggests that the consumption of textiles in the EU has the fourth highest impact on the environment, after food, housing and mobility. It comes third for water and land use and fifth highest for greenhouse gas emissions (EC).
2024 was a big year for the Polygiene team. From forging new partnerships with exciting up-and-coming brands to expanding our work with long-term collaborators, we’ve been busy spreading the Mindful Living™ message and bringing advanced Freshness technologies to the textile industry. Considering the scale of Polygiene’s achievements over the past year, we wanted to take a quick look back at some of 2024’s real highlights and success stories.
