Natural Dyes That Don't Cost The Earth
SAGES is a textile industry start-up that offers a natural and sustainable alternative to the synthetic fabric dyes currently on the market.
SAGES’ idea is a simple, circular solution, we take food waste and turn it into natural dyes. These can be used as paints, food colourings or even printer ink but here at SAGES, we are focusing on the development of a range of fully sustainable textile dye.
Synthetic dyes are vibrant, consistent and colourfast. However they are also toxic, carcinogenic and highly polluting. Natural dyes are an environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic dyes and come with none of their harms.
SAGES aim to make environmentally friendly, natural dyes that can meet the performance of synthetic dyes.
