Turning waste into value

Renewable, bio-based color that is redefining the future of black materials

Living Ink creates black pigment from discarded algae waste, replacing petroleum-based color.

Using an LCA-backed, carbon-negative process, Living Ink repurposes renewable biomass waste, like algae, into sustainable black inks and pigments that seamlessly replace traditional black color made from fossil fuels.

Renewable materials power all Living Ink products, delivering nature-backed performance across diverse industries.

Through innovation with algae waste, our flagship product lines, ALGAE BLACK™ pigment and ALGAE INK™ printing inks, bring climate-smart color options for packaging, footwear, textiles, cosmetics, paints, and beyond.
