INNOVATORS OF COLOUR
WHAT WE DO
SAGES is a start up pioneering phytochemical extractions and biochemical dyeing processes for sustainable colouration. Our breakthrough bio-chemical processes eliminate the need for synthetic dyes entirely
High Performance
SAGES dyes can achieve industry standards on tests such as light fastness and wash fastness
HOW WE DO IT
Easy to Integrate
SAGES dyes are a like-for-like replacement for synthetic dyes and have been successfully integrated into a range of industrial dyeing processes
Versatile
SAGES dyes are soluble making them suitable for diverse applications and have been tested across cellulose and protein fibres

WHY WE DO IT
Synthetic dyes are responsible for 20% of global wastewater
Derived from carbon intensive petroleum and coal tar, these dyes rely on non-biodegradable chemicals that are toxic, mutagenic, carcinogenic, and highly polluting. Their chemical dye effluent causes contamination, kills marine life, damages soil, and contaminates the food chain and drinking supply.
With new regulations to eliminate hazardous chemicals imminent, rapidly scalable solutions are desperately needed.
SAGES IMPACTS
97% CO2 reduction
When compared to traditional synthetic dyes
energy saving
SAGES dyes are effective at temperatures of 60°C resulting in reductions in energy use
biodegradable and non-toxic
Our dyes and dyeing processes are non-toxic and will biodegrade in water and on textiles preventing environmental damage
circular feedstock
By using food waste as a feedstock we do not rely on
non-renewable commodities
cost efficient
Designed to be an affordable replacement
Industry standard UV and Wash Fastness results certified by Intertek
