We believe that technology like Coloreel will play a big part in our industry from a sustainability perspective going forward, and we are very proud to be a part of that journey”, says Emma Garrote, Global Production & Sustainability Manager at Gina Tricot.

“We’re excited about our partnership with Gina Tricot. This is one of the first opportunities Swedish consumers will have to experience Coloreel’s instant thread coloring technology live in a retail environment.
