Colour Life with Nature 

We provide high performance low carbon dyes & auxiliaries to the world

Almost all textiles, food, packaging and cosmetics products we consume today are coloured using dyes derived from fossil fuels.

The building blocks of dyes involve extracting carcinogenic compounds such as benzene and naphthalene from coal tar or petroleum. Their production and use pose significant environmental threats, disrupting our landscapes, biodiversity, and ecosystems, while generating vast amounts of toxic water and air pollution.

What is the true cost behind your T-shirt?

  • botanical colours

    It takes 2,700 litres of water to make a single T-shirt. This amount of water could keep a person hydrated for 2.5 years.

  • eco friendly dyes for textiles

    The textile industry is the world’s second largest polluting industry - contributing to 20% of global water pollution and 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

  • eco friendly fabric dye

    More than 90% of clothes are made using these forms of unsustainable dyes - that’s more than 1 billion kilos of dye polluting the environment every year.

Our patented solution

Our patented solution

Nature is capable of producing more than 5,000 different coloured molecules. We take inspiration from nature and with our expertise in synthetic biology, we are able to design a full spectrum of colour synthesis without compromising on dye performance.
