Textile dyeing is one of the most polluting stages in fashion, and one of the least visible. It accounts for a large share of the sector's carbon emissions and around a fifth of global industrial water pollution. In this episode, Dominic Shales speaks with Philippe Berlan, CEO of EverDye, the French green-chemistry company rethinking how fabric is coloured.

Berlan explains why conventional dyeing depends on energy-hungry petrochemical chemistry, and how EverDye's bio-based alternative bonds colour to fibre at room temperature instead. The result is up to 90% less energy use, lower water consumption, and a process that runs on existing factory equipment. He talks through which fibres the technology covers, the challenge posed by polyester, and how the company verifies its emissions claims with life-cycle assessment.

The conversation widens to the industry itself: why brands have tackled their own offices and shops while leaving manufacturing emissions largely untouched, why the sector is so resistant to new technology, and what role regulation and consumer transparency could play. Drawing on three decades in retail, including a spell running La Redoute, Berlan offers a pragmatic view of how a slow-moving industry actually changes.

A clear, practical look at where fashion's emissions really sit, and what it takes to cut them.

Green hydrogen has had a punishing few years, with cancellations, cost overruns and demand that arrived late. So why did Schroders Capital keep investing while others retreated?

Holly Turner and Duncan Hale join Climate Solutions News ahead of Reset Connect London 2026 to explain the firm's approach. Duncan walks through the Barrow Green Hydrogen Project in Cumbria, which will supply hydrogen to a Kimberly-Clark factory making Andrex and Kleenex, and the subsidy model borrowed from wind and solar.

Holly maps where climate capital flows next, the growing case for adaptation and resilience, and how European regulation is reshaping what counts as a sustainable investment.

A conversation about sticking to your convictions, delivering energy transition projects and where the next phase of the transition gets funded.

How is AI changing the way we measure the carbon cost of what we build? One Click LCA founder and CEO Panu Pasanen joins the Climate Solutions News podcast to explain.

Life cycle assessment counts the full environmental cost of a product or building, from raw material to disposal. It is rigorous work, and traditionally slow. Pasanen explains what the discipline involves, why embodied carbon is so much harder to act on than the energy a building uses, and how his company cuts an assessment that once took weeks down to something that fits the pace of a live project.

He also looks ahead to AI that proposes whole low-carbon design options, with the human expert steering rather than building. On whether that output can be trusted, his answer is blunt: control, not trust. The platform monitors its AI constantly, tests it against large datasets, and grades the confidence of every proposal.

Recorded ahead of Reset Connect London, 23 and 24 June 2026, where Pasanen is speaking on supply chain decarbonisation and Climate Solutions News is a media partner.
