PILI

Our technology is based onmicrobial enzymes, re-engineered to producebrilliant and effective dyesfromrenewable resources

Enzymes are powerful molecules, found in every living cell.These proteins catalyze the chemical reactions needed to sustain life and to create the huge variety of molecules found in nature, everything from food to perfume to pigments.

Enzymatic synthesis allows us to partner with microbes to create materials in sustainable ways,saving energy and reducing waste.Enzymes can do chemistry with remarkable precision, andwithout large inputs of energy or toxic reagents.

At PILI we are developing a completelynew dye technology,designing enzymatic cascades that turn renewable carbon feedstocks, such as sugar, into textile dyes.Using the specificity and efficiency of enzymes, we can produce dyes for a wide variety of color hues and applications.
