Most pigments used today are derived from petrochemicals, rely on toxic chemicals in their production, and generate hazardous waste, severe water pollution, and high carbon emissions. One of the largest applications of these pigments is textile dyeing, an industry with a massive environmental footprint.

More than 8,000 synthetic chemicals are used in textile manufacturing, 1,900 harmful substances are found in textile wastewater, and up to 20% of global industrial water pollution is linked to textile dyeing. 

Garni Bio engineers microorganisms to produce natural, high-performance pigments using industrial byproducts.

This allows us to create pigments that are: 

• Sustainable: waste-to-value bioprocesses 

• Science-based: metabolic engineering at its best 

• Cleaner: dramatically reduced toxic chemical waste and water pollution 

• Application-ready: validated in textiles, cosmetics, and packaging

• Textile mills & dye houses

• Sustainability-focused consumer brands

• Research institutions and bioprocess facilities

• Cosmetic ingredient manufacturers

• Packaging and printing innovators
