Ethical Denim-Focused Indigo Dyes

Citizens of Humanity Group, Pili, and Orta have launched a new collaboration that aims to revolutionize the denim production industry. Under this innovative partnership, all three entities have worked to create a carbon-reduced bio-based indigo dye for coloring denim items. Notably, this product reduces water pollution and chemical waste, adopting Pili's unique industrial fermentation and sustainable chemistry techniques.

“Our partnership with Pili represents a pivotal moment in our industry's journey towards a more regenerative future,” Notes Amy Williams, CEO of Citizens of Humanity Group. “As textile manufacturing continues to consume vast amounts of dyes annually (2 million tons), it’s imperative that we embrace innovative solutions to mitigate its environmental impact. Pili's technology addresses this challenge head-on and offers high-performance denim color ranges.”
