Colorifix

Colorifix is a company focused on creating fully biobased colors and dyes for the textile industry. Their curiosity about the rhythms of life led them to explore why certain organisms— such as flowers, bacteria, fungi, etc.— can generate specific colors. They now cultivate these living organisms to intentionally produce those natural vibrant dyes.
