Supporting water reuse across the fashion and textile sector
Danu Water, a UK deep-tech cleantech startup, helps industry recover, treat, and reuse its wastewater - delivering environmental and financial savings.
The potential impact of this technology is particularly relevant to the fashion and textile sector. The bathtubs of water used to dye, manufacture, and finish a pair of jeans and a T-shirt could be just a few bottles with Danu Water technology in place.
This focus on water management and wastewater treatment has also been recognised through Danu Water being named runner-up in the Manufacturing Futures competition, gaining recognition not only for the power of the solution, but also for the importance of water management and wastewater treatment in the fashion and textile sector.
The opportunity extends beyond manufacturers to brands too. Water and circularity are increasingly critical to fashion and textile brands' own sustainability commitments and supply chain reporting, even where the dyeing and finishing happens several tiers upstream.
Many manufacturing regions are also water-stressed, where industrial demand competes directly with water available to local households and communities. For brands, shifting to a Danu-enabled supplier doesn't just reduce their own water footprint, it also eases the pressure their supply chain places on a resource local communities depend on too.
To put this into perspective, the roughly 1,000 litres of processing water behind a pair of jeans and a T-shirt is enough to cover a day's water needs for 10–20 people in a water-stressed region like Morocco, where daily per-person use typically runs 50–100 litres.
Commercial orders now open
With proof of concept completed in textile dyeing, Danu Water is now taking commercial orders, as well as opening conversations around pilots for new use cases.
For businesses looking to reduce their water footprint, cut discharge costs, or move towards closed-loop water reuse, Danu Water is keen to hear from them.
Whether you are a manufacturer, a brand working with its supply chains, or simply curious about how Danu Water's technology compares to its current treatment, businesses are welcome to start a conversation.

Here is what Danu Water said about joining UKFT membership:
"We are proud to be members of UKFT, which represents the entirety of the supply chain and ecosystem which makes textile manufacturing possible. We are pleased to represent a hidden component that can transform sustainability of the sector."
