Tong Siang Company is a fully owned subsidiary of the Yeh Group that specializes in producing sportswear and activewear fabrics in an environmentally sustainable way. As the textile industry is one of the biggest polluters of water, Tong Siang has developed a revolutionary waterless and chemical-free dyeing process called DryDye that significantly reduces water usage, waste water, and carbon emissions compared to traditional dyeing. Their goal is for 100% of fabrics to be manufactured using water reduction technologies by 2025 and to aggressively grow their waterless dyeing capacity over time to become the most eco-friendly textile group.
