Converts agricultural waste products into dyes by using microbes. Reduces water consumption by at least 49%, electricity by 35%, and CO2 emissions by 31% compared to conventional dyeing for cotton. Produced using clean, renewable feedstocks (simple sugars, yeast, plant-byproducts) and waste products from the agricultural industry instead of traditional petrochemicals. No heavy metals/organic solvents are used.
Probiotic soaping agent for textiles. Does not contain phosphates or alkalis, resulting in fabrics with better depth and color brightness. Decreased water usage due to the need for less wash cycles. Lower effluent parameters (BOD, COD, TDS) by 15 to 20%, even with less water usage. Application flexibility as it can be applied in a wide range of pH and temperatures. Fully biodegradable and isn't enzyme based. Reduces operating cost.
PFAS-free and biodegradable textile waterproofing, biobased and readily degradable multi-functional wax, bio-based and readily biodegradable detergent, and biodegradable and fluorocarbon-free industrial DWR products. By combining the natural fatty acids of plants with Nobel Prize-winning chemistry organocatalysis, OrganoClick has created an effective water repellency that is environmentally sustainable and high-performance.
PCA-free poly-reactive range of dyes. Saves water and energy by 50% or more and reduces CO2 emissions to 50% or less during the dyeing and washing-off process. Free of toxic chemicals. Improved productivity, reduced cost, and the highest level of light and wet fastness across the entire shade gamut and color spectrum compared to conventional dyeing. Saves time as the process takes 4 hours while the traditional process takes 7 hours.
Biobased (biopolymers & plant-based substances) binder for nonwoven and technical textiles. Binders made with biopolymers from residual streams in the food industry (such as orange peels, shrimp shells, wheat bran) instead of mainly fossil plastic polymers (EVA, acrylates) that are traditionally used in binders. 100% biodegradable, compostable, and non-toxic.
Enzymatic scouring, or BioPreparation™, for the pretreatment of cotton knits, woven yarn, and towels. Uses pectinase to remove pectin and wax from cotton fiber, producing fabrics with instant absorbency for even dyeing. Water savings up to 67%, time savings up to 50%, and energy savings up to 50% compared to traditional pre-treatment. Saves to energy and water by removing the need for separate handling and optimization of wetting agents and emulsifiers. Eliminates harsh chemicals used in traditional scouring, such as strong alkaline & bleaching chemicals.
Premium PVC-free carpet tile backing made from a thermoplastic polyolefin compound. PVC-free. It weighs 25% less, resulting in carbon reductions during transport. Superior tensile strength compared to traditional PVC backing, improving durability. Products are reclaimed and recycled at the end of use.

Polyester made from a genetically modified microorganism that produces 1,3-propanediol (PDO) from cornstarch. Derived from cornstarch, making it partially plant based. Fermentation of genetically modified cornstarch replaces chemical synthesis, and PDO is naturally produced (Bio-PDO). Less energy compared to petroleum-based traditional processes.
