Pigment-making microbes meaning we may no longer have to synthesise dyes using toxic chemicals
Today, the color industry is unsustainable: 99% of all dyes are made using petrochemistry, while colors from plants and animals are not scalable.
Through biotechnology, PILI conjugates the performance of the chemical industry with the renewability of biology to cope with the challenges of a clean color production.
We use enzymes and cell factories to efficiently transform biomass into dyes through fermentation processes.
We use the power of cell factories to produce highly efficient renewable colors.
Our team is designing the best enzymes and fermentation biotechnologies to efficiently transform sugar into renewable and long-lasting colors.
At PILI, we work with enzymes and microorganisms as the cleanest factories ever for fabricating brilliant dyes.
Nature provides this awesome process and we enhance this great ability of biology to create colors. By upgrading it, PILI creates the most renewable, accessible and powerful color technology!
