Colorifix is a company that develops sustainable dyeing technology for the textile industry, using biological processes inspired by nature to reduce the environmental impact of textile coloration.

Colorifix

We bring colour to life. 

Colorifix has developed a revolutionary dyeing process to help the textile industry dramatically reduce its environmental impact in a cost-effective manner. Using synthetic biology we produce, deposit and fix dyes biologically, avoiding harmful chemicals whilst reducing water, energy and waste.

Let's rethink industrial dyeing.

For the last few years, every time a new team member joined us, they would hear "You're really joining at the most exciting time" from several colleagues. That says a lot about the dynamic environment in a fast-moving scale-up. 🤘 

We're now looking for an inspiring and experienced Head of Informatics to manage our talented team of software developers, data scientists, and engineers in building creative and flexible solutions that will significantly impact our business. So if you are interested or know someone that would be a right fit, we're looking forward to hearing from you!  

And to be clear: this is the most exciting time to join us.

Collaboration and scaling - two words that get us very excited. That's probably why our partnership with Siderquímica is a very important one for us. 

This week, we celebrated a game-changing moment: the inauguration of their very first textile biotech laboratory in Brusque, Santa Catarina, marking our official entry into Brazil. 🇧🇷  

This is a massive milestone, and we’re ready for all the hard work ahead as we join forces to transform the textile industry together. Thank you to everyone involved in making this happen. More to come!

We're on a podcast! 💥 

And not just any podcast. Our co-founder and CSO Jim Ajioka joins the brilliant Brooke Roberts-Islam and Helene Steiner to discuss the challenges of textile innovation and struggles (!) of changing the fashion industry for the better - moderated by Mili John Tharakan. 

The perfect summer listen to learn more about the people and start-ups working to change one of the largest industries in the world. And get excited to join us on the journey. We need all the help we can get, to say the least. 

Listen where you get your podcast but here's a link to YouTube https://lnkd.in/eUjwa-Hy

Today, our co-founder and CEO Orr Yarkoni was awarded The Princess Royal Silver medal by Royal Academy of Engineering which recognises an outstanding and demonstrated personal contribution to UK engineering.

Colorifix was born out of the environmental devastation witnessed on the ground of textile effluents in Bangladesh and Nepal by our founders Orr and Jim. They realised that there has to be a way to create colour and put it on fabric the same way nature does, without harming our planet and its people. It has taken them on a decade-long journey to make that idea real and working. 

A day to celebrate all the hard work achieved and to get excited for all the hard work still ahead! 💙

How is DNA sequencing being used to revolutionise the dyeing industry? 🔬🌈

The dyeing industry is one of the largest water consumers in the world, using over 5 trillion litres annually* and relying on petrochemical dyes and toxic chemicals, which are often dumped into rivers and lakes, causing severe pollution.

To address these environmental challenges, our innovator Colorifix uses DNA sequencing of nature's own colours to create sustainable dyes, reducing the use of water and harmful chemicals!

Their process begins by identifying the desired colour from nature. They then construct the DNA sequence responsible for that pigment and introduce it into a Colorifix microbe. The microbe, using the new genetic instructions, produces the pigment naturally, and is cultivated in a fermentor. This mixture is then used to dye fabrics directly, requiring fewer rinses than synthetic dyes and eliminating the need for additional specialised equipment or toxic chemicals.

This innovative dyeing process, not only avoids toxic chemicals and heavy metals but does so while reducing water consumption by 77% compared to conventional dyeing for polycotton!

Learn more about the innovator’s story, technology, challenges and successes and see how the innovation is driving tangible change in the industry.

Clip from this week’s episode with Nora Eslander at Colorifix about their innovative work in biological dyes made from nature. 

We discuss how regulation and investment can help material innovators move the industry forward and the potential business opportunity for investing early.

If there’s anything we like more than working with our process, it’s talking about it and since we are so passionate about what we do - we want to make sure everyone else is too. So when we're asked how it works, often with excitement or scepticism, we try to make it very simple. 

Here’s a breakdown of our process, the first entirely biological process to create, deposit and fix pigment onto textiles. Replacing all toxic chemicals and significantly lowering the overall impact of processing textiles. Which is much needed, just trust us on this.  

But if you want the slightly longer version - ask any of our scientists. If you want the longest version, ask our co-founder Jim. 🐝 💜 🌱

"But then we hit a wall, and the wall is that you can’t incrementally make something bad less bad and be proud of that. You have to aim for what is good. You have to create the future you want to live in and that is an innovation and a creativity challenge.“ Hannah Jones, CEO The Earthshot Prize. 

The other week, we had the pleasure of attending The Mills Fabrica's launch of their latest exhibition "Planet-Saving Innovations", focusing on how innovation can help reduce planetary pressures and the support needed for these innovations to achieve scalable impact. 

Thank you to the team at The Mills Fabrica for including us, to our partners over at Albini Group and The Earthshot Prize for important discussions on how we will and can change this. 

Let's continue to break the wall - and aim for what's good. 💥
