SAGES is redefining textile colouration with bio-based dyes made from food waste, offering a sustainable alternative to the toxic petrochemical dyes that dominate today’s industry. Conventional synthetic dyes account for 20% of global wastewater and are derived from carbon-intensive petroleum and coal tar, releasing hazardous chemicals that kill marine life, damage soils, and contaminate the food chain and drinking supply.

The Sages Colour System slots seamlessly into existing manufacturing, making adoption simple and unlike other alternatives, it delivers synthetic-level performance at scale, without the cost premium. Their patented process reduces carbon emissions by up to 90%, saves energy by working effectively at lower temperatures, and prevents pollution by eliminating toxic effluents. With successful pilots completed and growing demand from commercial partners, SAGES is scaling a circular solution that is helping the fashion industry cut emissions, reduce harmful toxins, and move beyond petrochemical dependency.
