Sustainable Dyes

👀Learning from nature to create sustainable dyes🎨
Colorifix is leading the way in natural dyes that eliminate and minimise environmental impacts without compromising on quality or relying on supply chain availability.
Colorifix create colours inspired by organisms in nature, they then use online DNA sequencing to pinpoint the exact genes that created the pigment and translate that DNA code into their microorganism. The engineered microorganism then produces the pigment just as it is produced in nature 🤯
They’ve created a practical solution for dye houses to grow dyes on-site with renewable feedstocks reducing the need for the harsh chemicals, heavy metals and salts used in conventional dyeing processes and minimising the overall environmental impact of the dyeing process.
Compared to conventional dyeing for polycotton Colorifix reduces:
💧 Water consumption by 77%
⚡️ Electricity usage by 53%
🏭 Carbon emissions by 31%
