Natural Textile dyes
The environmentalfootprint of fashion
Each year, 700,000 tons of petroleum-based dyes are diluted into 5 trillion liters of freshwater to dye our clothes.
01
200.000 tons of dyes are lost
but...
Dyes diluted in the water, when not attached to fabric, are discharged in effluents due to the inefficiency of the industrial dyeing process.
02
Dyes are toxic & polluting
The problem...
And, for effective dyeing, every dye requieres approximately 70 additional chemicals, which are also highly toxic & often unrecoverable.
03
Large amounts of dyes wasted turns clean water into a dangerous and difficult-to-treat effluent. This contributes to the...
pollution of 20% of the world's drinkable water.

How it works
Our solution
Our process begins with low-cost natural raw materials as the input for bacteria to produce dyes, a fossil fuel-free approach.
Natural Inputs for
Dye Production
Bacteria as biodye
manufacturing units
We design bacteria to rapidly grow and produce high quantities of dyes, turning them into biological dye factories.
Dyes for multiple
textile applications
Dyes are formulated to be applied in textile targets and meet industry standards such as color intensity and durability.
Fermentation Like
Brewing Beer
Our dye production process is similar to brewing beer. Instead of using yeast, we use bacteria in fermenters.
The produt is
powdered dye
This format ensures that textile factories can use our dyes without any need for adaptation or changes to their existing equipment.
Seamless Integration
with Sustainability
The natural dyes we are developing are safe for humans and the environment, without compromising on performance.
