Pangaia Lab has announced the launch of its latest collection, introducing biology-based dying technology to its apparel for the first time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Powered by Colorifix, the capsule collection includes two limited-edition Pangaia tracksuits dyed with blue and pink naturally occurring pigments.<\/p>\n

To achieve this, Colorifix uses DNA sequence data to find the genetic code of each naturally occurring pigment. Through synthetic biology, the technology builds and inserts the DNA code into a microbe that can be used to produce the pigment and transfer the colour onto fabric.<\/p>\n

The technology turns natural pigments into colourful industrial dyes, without petrochemicals and hazardous substances often found in conventional dyeing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Compared to the conventional dyeing of cotton, the Colorifix technology reduces water consumption by at least 49%, electricity by 35% and CO2 emissions by 31%.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
