Natural Dyes from Side and Waste Streams

Natural Dyes from Side and Waste Streams

One vision, two paths: Natural Colours Global for textiles, BioInk for packaging – all towards a circular future.

Sustainable Textile Dyes for Fashion

Our company Natural Colours Global provides a new generation of bio-based dyes developed to meet the fashion and textile industry’s growing demand for sustainable alternatives to synthetic colorants.

By sourcing from food and forest industry side streams and surplus materials, we transform waste into valuable color sources. This reduces both waste and the use of synthetic chemicals – creating colors with a story and a positive environmental impact.

Our current focus is on dyes made from coffee waste. These enable the creation of high-quality, durable shades that are fully compatible with industrial-scale processes. With our solution, the fashion industry can take a real step toward truly responsible color alternatives and a more sustainable future.

Sustainable Packaging Color from Coffee Waste

Our company BioInk Oy is part of a pioneering Finnish collaboration with TAMK and industry partners, developing a natural, water-based ink made from coffee waste as a sustainable alternative to synthetic colorants

This innovation is just getting started, paving the way for circular economy solutions and more environmentally friendly production in packaging printing.

Bio-Based Colors for Sustainable Development

What if colors could be both beautiful and sustainable?

At Natural Indigo Finland, responsibility is at the core of every innovation. Through our companies Natural Indigo Finland, Natural Colours Global, and Natural BioInk, we lead a project listed on the UN Sustainable Development Goals Partnership platform: Scaling Bio-Based Dyes from Industrial Side-Streams.

By transforming industrial side streams, such as coffee grounds, into natural dyes and eco-friendly inks, we advance circular solutions for textiles, fashion, and packaging. Our solutions support responsible consumption, reduce the need for synthetic colorants, and move production toward a more environmentally sustainable future.

Join us on the journey toward greener production and see how bio-based colors can play a key role in sustainable development.
