Colorifix

Colorifix develops a biological dyeing process: engineered microbes are grown in fermentors from non-hazardous inputs, and the resulting pigment is pumped into standard dye machines together with yarn, fabric or garments. The company sells a plug-in solution to mills and dye houses, and works with fashion brands such as Vollebak and PANGAIA to drive demand through the supply chain.

Its website describes the company as having been devoting its efforts since 2014 to replacing chemical colouring in textile dyeing. Founding and research are based at Norwich Research Park, with a pilot plant in Cambridge, and a Portugal site manufactures fermentation hardware and growth media and runs an implementation team that installs bioreactors and trains customers.

The website states that its technology has achieved ZDHC Level 1 MRSL conformance and that its dyes have received the OEKO-TEX Eco Passport. Press and general enquiries are handled through published email addresses.
