“A discovery in science is not accomplished in any logical way; it only takes on logical form afterward in the course of exposition. A discovery even the very smallest is always an insight to a solution that comes from outside as unexpectedly as someone had whispered it in your ear.”
Albert Einstein
Our Story
E.biodye addresses the environmental challenges posed by traditional textile dyeing and finishing processes, which rely heavily on surfactants, salts, heavy metals, enzymes, and oxidizing and reducing agents that often pollute rivers and waterways. Founded under this vision, E.biodye was created by a multidisciplinary team combining sustainability, biology, and innovation expertise. Co-founder Carolina Obregón, a sustainable fashion designer and bio-innovator with an MA in Sustainable Design from Aalto University, collaborated with Dr. Giovanna Danies, a biologist and microbiologist with a Ph.D. in Plant Pathology from Cornell University, and microbiologist Diego Hernández in Bogotá, Colombia. Through cutting-edge microbial engineering, E.biodye produces a range of vibrant, eco-friendly biopigments by modifying bacteria to generate colors naturally. Unlike conventional dyes, E.biodye's pigments are free from harmful chemicals, offering a biodegradable and sustainable alternative for the textile industry.
