Closing the loop with circular color for textile industry
We rethink how color is made and used—turning food waste into natural dyes that reduce pollution and reconnect humans, ecosystems, and industries in a circular flow.
We believe design can shift systems. Our work directly contributes to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by making natural dyeing scalable, circular, and impactful.

SDG 12: Responsible Consumption & Production
We give food waste — like onion skins and coffee grounds — a second life as sustainable dyes. This reduces waste streams and promotes circular design practices in the fashion and textile industry.

SDG 6: Clean Water & Sanitation
Synthetic dyes are among the world’s largest water pollutants. By using natural, non-toxic alternatives, we lower chemical contamination in water systems and reduce the water footprint of textile dyeing.

SDG 13: Climate Action
Our approach minimizes emissions tied to synthetic dye production and encourages low-impact, renewable resources — supporting a more climate-conscious textile industry.

SDG 4: Quality Education
Through workshops, collaborations, and knowledge-sharing, we empower brands, designers, and communities to embrace natural dyeing practices and co-create a more sustainable future.
Systemic change with natural, circular color. Start the conversation with us today.
