The color of our clothes has many serious environmental consequences, the use of fossil fuel by-products to make highly polluted water colors after dyeing. But a company based in the United Kingdom called Colorifix Said that this can considerably reduce these impacts using microbes both to make dyes and help repair them on the tissues.
“We have had a considerable interest in this, because consumers are really starting to think about what they wear and how it damages the environment,” explains the director of sciences Jim Ajioka.
