The objective of this initiative is to promote the scaling of natural dyes in industrial processes by utilizing industrial side streams, such as coffee waste, to produce more sustainable and environmentally friendly dyes for the fashion and textile industries. We aim to reduce the use of synthetic dyes and their environmental impact. Additionally, we seek to strengthen international collaboration and knowledge exchange among industry stakeholders to enable efficient and large-scale adoption and production of natural dyes. Through this, we support the UN Sustainable Development Goals, especially those related to responsible production and consumption, industry innovation, and partnerships.
